VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
pBought it in Sept. 28. Not easy to find in Australia. Originally shipped to Earl J Lance, Elyria, Ohio, underseat heating, fog lamps, Car was in Mojave Desert California when found by a Australian car importer. Looks like it was in a junk yard from some hand painted numbers on roof. Before starting in ernest have been tracking down missing parts. Car came without engine, trans, driveshaft and wheels.Now have a 56 Executive engine and a transmission, wheels, rear bumper, wonderbar radio, have got glass for front &am
back. Car is very solid, floors are perfect. also most chrome is on the car. must have spent most of its life in CA or a dry climate. Seats had covers on them, very worn as was the original material underneath. Fascinating car but I have no history about its previous owners, but mainly drivers side wear, definitely had a hard working life.
