Wow from the pictures she don't look half bad!!!! I'd sure as hell cruise around town in that with a huge smile on my face as it sits!
Love the picture of it next to the centurion. Wow what a boat. I'm sorry I just love the BIG ass-end and the chrome and stainless everywhere. Gaudy? Perrrrrrhaps. Still looks good? I think so.
Let us know how the A/C is when you get it working. Anyone chime in on how good '50s era A/C was? The closest example I know of first hand is circa 1970s.....a '71 Lincoln Mark III 2dr at a cruise last summer the owner was letting me check out and sit in and move the steering wheel with my LITTLE finger. The A/C in that car was dreadfully freezing LOL. | |

My vacuum weighs at least 30 lbs heavier now, from all the crud and dirt/rust that came out of the floor of the interior and trunk!! Yuck!
It's fun working in the garage when it's 98* outside.

Adam, glad to see the under the trunk shot. You're right, that looks a lot like the color on Hank's car. Hope you're enjoying her...

Bigger is better! [img]<>/laugh.gif[/img]
It seems I am going to need to invest in a cut-off wheel...and lots of replacement blades. Every nut and bolt/screw is rusted solid.
