Sounds like you've been a busy boy! Looking forward to hearing about this one getting back on the road. A '41 180 is a very classy car and a wonderful cruiser. Well done for bringing her back and hope you enjoy it.

Very nice and great to see it getting back on the road! That's the best way to get to know the car before any restoration is started.
I made a fair offer on a long wheelbase 1941 non-formal sedan a few years back (with power windows and even factory A/C) but, as they were asking a restored price for an unrestored car, they ignored the offer.

After all that work you deserve a high quality, high octane adult beverage.
You've earned it.

I get thirsty working on old cars that is 1 of the hidden cost of restoration that no one thinks about.

That is going to be a gorgeous machine! Power windows in a '41 - wow, that is a scarce one.
Amazing how a car that majestic ended up getting stuck away in a barn. Looking forward to the progress made on this one, she's a beauty.

Hi 29tons,
Thanks for posting the picture. It would appear to be the the 'barn-find of barn-finds'. The condition and completeness are quite something. Even so, a monumental project to bring 'er back; hat's off for taking on the task! Chris.

Wow! That car will be a showstopper to anyone that knows what they are looking at. Surely that was one of the best cars someone could buy at that time. Do you know the provenance on it?
P.S. Did you add it to the Registry?
