1936 Century 66C X Convertible Coupe

The registration plate should have pushed you in the right direction!

John V showed he's been paying attention

We really miss Dave and his terrific production/build data.

Okay, some more photos. I purchased the car a few years ago and of course decided to re-do a few things!

( see photos when white with red trim )

So a few years on after sourcing missing/incorrect parts ( mostly from the USA ) including front seat, headlights. sidemount locks, taillights and then replacing the wooden frame, new floor, paint colour change and re-trim in leather it is finally finished - well almost. Still have a couple of fiddly jobs to complete.

Wow !!

Stuart, that 1936 Series 60 Model 66C X is a beautiful car, and certainly shows the attention to detail.

Congratulations,

Marty

Anyone like to guess the year and model - if your good I will post more photos of the 1st run![/Q

Stuart,

Nice car. I was in Perth this past June visiting my Daughter who lives there. She in fact is on a plane as we speak coming back to Cincinnati, Ohio with her Aussie boyfriend for the holidays. I hope break him in on old cars and have him help me put a rear end(bad ring gear project) back into my 12 McLaughlin-Buick and go for a ride.

Fantastic effort. Guys I saw this car in the metal just 2 months ago when it was nearly finished and it is in a word..Unbelievable . it is way better than the photos of it here imply. Stuart this car is a credit to your enthusiasm,attention to detail and meticulous craftmanship. well done and it is a car you should be extremly proud of. I saw it in the metal because I was there buying another Buick. Its a serious disease these Buick cars..:rolleyes:

Cheers and Congratulations Stuart

If I ever get the Perth, can I get a ride?

Yep, anyone who gets to Perth is always welcome to a ride, even a beer or two actually.

I see Tom Muth from Cincinnati snuck in and didn't give us a yell though.

Thanks for all the kind words and all the best to everyone on the PreWar Forum for the coming festive season.
