Couple of new Facebook Marketplace postings:

1948 LWB sedan. Not sure of the model, but it does not appear to be too bad for the asking price of only $3,999. At least the interior is not totally trashed like on a lot of these cars. New Jersey:

23rd Series Sedan parts car. Again, not sure of the model. Looks like an abandoned resto project. Sheet metal does look pretty good and what more could you want for the asking price of only $500. Michigan:

1947 Clipper LWB sedan. Ad states the proverbial "ran when parked", so I guess that it is no longer running. Tires are flat. Car was originally owned by a funeral home. Relatively solid looking, with some visible rust in the front fenders over the side grilles, which is typical of early Clippers. In one of the photos, I am seeing what appears to be a 1936 Henney hearse on a trailer, so I'm not sure what's up with that car. Asking $5K. Ohio:

1956 Executive Sedan. Very decent looking original car. Some wear visible on driver's seat, but original interior looks clean otherwise. Believe color scheme is Scheme H (Adriatic Blue Metallic). Odometer shows 58K and car looks it. Asking $15K. Tennessee:

1941 110 Coupe. Partially disassembled for restoration. Looks decent, but obviously needs quite a bit of work. Driver's side front fenders look rough. Rest of body not bad:

15k for the 56 is not too far off the mark. The main gripes are the seat wear (and partly missing carpet) and the TL being off. Otherwise, all the chrome looks good, good paint, aftermarket A/C, and otherwise low apparent wear are all big pluses.

Did you notice the two Antenna bezels on the dash, and the unusual brake pedal? (Or is that how the brakes looked in '56?)

The 1956 Executive clearly has a non-stock booster which is visible in the under hood photo. The factory booster would be below the steering column. Also interesting is the fact that the aftermarket compressor is mounted where the factory compressor would go but there are no other signs of it ever having factory A/C. That leads me to believe that the engine is from a factory A/C car. Also of note are the toggle switches on the pushbutton shift pod.

1956 Super Clipper Panama HT. Very clean original car with one older repaint. Looks sharp in Color Scheme PM (Jamaican Yellow over Dover White). Estate Sale. Think this one is well worth the asking price of $12K. Odo shows 43K miles and this might be correct. Michigan:

1949 (23rd Series) Club Sedan. Believe it is a Standard Eight. Solid barn find. Needs total resto, but body looks exceptionally straight, though there appears to be some collision damage to the right rear quarter panel in the tail lamp area. Asking $3,300. Michigan

1941 Clipper. Rough unrestored. Rust in rockers and above side grilles in front fenders. Seller states engine is free. Asking $4K. Maine.

'56 Executive is a 12K car at best (after a satisfactory road test). Cobbled up shift pod, non factory brake booster/pedal setup. Is the firewall reinforced? Manual windows and seat. Might have been a non-radio car, there is no sign of antenna anywhere. Right antenna bezel on dash is where rear speaker control should be. i believe color is paint code "D", Norwegian Forest Metallic. When that color got faded out it took on a bluish hue. Looks like
a bunch of shade tree work was done. PB

"56 Panama looks good @ 12K. Might not be original engine. Maybe someone just swapped rocker covers. I wonder how much bondo is under the paint.

Love the color scheme on the 56' Panama. Interior is not bad either. 12K is probably reasonable as well. With a little effort I think it will clean up nicely.

Clean 51 200 in PA for 10.5k, seems fair.

And it has overdrive!

Is that '51 a two door sedan or a coupe? Looks like a coupe to me, with a longer rear deck and short top and rear side windows.

I’m not sure what you mean as there was only one 2-door sedan body type (as opposed to a 2-door hardtop) and the deck lids were the same on all models. I do see that it has a 1953-1954 hood ornament, though.
