VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | Build sheet date of March 15-56. Sold through R. W Bowman & Son in York, PA to a Lancaster, PA customer. Inherited by the grandson of the original owner and lived the middle of its life in Arkansas. At some time it was moved to Detroit, MI where I found it in a Hemmings ad in 1999. Brought it to CT where I have spent more time and money on its restoration than any sane person would have spent (sane people really don't know what they are missing). Just finishing the interior and some much needed trim piece restoration, and there is a light at the end of the tunnel... | ||||
| Vehicle Modifications | |||||
MODIFICATIONS: | Interior had deteriorated during storage of 8 years while being painted (a whole chapter I don't need to relive). After seeing the posted pictures of the '56 Patrician that Randy Berger bought in 2010, I was impressed with the special order reddish and gray leather interior and am proceeding along those lines. I am looking at completion of that part of the project late spring, 2012. | ||||
