  1. I remember riding up behind one of these that was stopped at a traffic light. I was on my bicycle and immediately rode home and put it on my list of cars to own. Such was my impression of the wrap around window and taillamp arrangement. This car is such a give-away that I'd be tempted to buy it just to look at that window and light arrangement any time I so chose!
  2. As many of you know I am neck deep in the restoration of a similar car, indeed one that was in worse shape than this. Had it not been my dad's first car it probably would have been a parts car also. As such, a restoration of one of these really can only be done by someone who loves the car...really loves the car. Hopefully this car will meet just such an admirer.
  3. Over the years I have owned 12 of these cars but I do not have one now. I find this car highly appealing but probably would spend more restoring the chrome on this one than I would spend on a better car that could be used now.
  4. Some time ago I bought a pretty beat up 61 Lincoln promo. I just completed the restoration which is not perfect but a real improvement. I probably should have taken a couple before photos.I am still looking for a hood ornament. You would be excused for thinking I have a thing for blue Lincolns but I was just building models of cars I either liked or owned.
  5. The engine is in the chassis. This was a big step forward.
  6. The engine is going in tomorrow. Can't wait.
  7. There's a car I'd love to own. Other than the oval gas tank I really like the lines on this. It would be a fairly large fortune to do it right, but what a car you would have!
  8. The engine just was painted. I have the correct Vaporizer carb to put on it soon. The goal is to have the engine installed by the end of next week.
  9. I took a car of my own to Meadowbrook and several from the Gilmore Car Museum and Franklin Museum to both Meadowbrook and St. John's. I always had a great time and will certainly miss the event. I too remember seeing the Graham Hollywood at Meadowbrook. It was awesome in its original state.
  10. Take 30 minutes with a hose and a bucket of soapy water and clear the junk out of the seat and the car will look a lot more like a car worth the asking price. As is...who knows? I have always wanted a '61.
