"No low ballers please." Why not? You've regarded this car as "low ball" for the whole time that you've owned it!

As much as I personally like green, I think that this Imperial might have sold by now if it was any other color.

Geez, I always think that it takes a particularly interesting personality type to threaten potential buyers with a presumed undesirable outcome if they don't buy.

Would you believe I didn't know that people actually preferred sidemounts until a few years ago. I think because with most prewar cars the sidemounts were an option, but with the high end cars the rear mounted spare was a sport option. The sport option cars can bring a lot more money than the sidemount cars when you are talking about high end stuff.
Interesting! I didn't know!

Eight cylinder club sedan with side mounts!
-
A Pontiac, and thus, GM, point of pride was that they were the least expensive eight-cylinder car on the market. I've owned a couple of these and I can say that, eight cylinders, or not, they weren't performance minded.

Very beautiful car. However, someone stopped short and should have pin striped the wheels properly.

I'm a little uncertain about the "club" in club coupe.

Someone must have told them the dust did not ad value. I doubt the paint looks that good in person, the typical lets wet it down and get a quick pic. But for 5k you almost cant go wrong. Body looks decent enough and complete.
Pop told me stories of his family having a mid to late 30's dodge or plymouth. Said 50mph was the fastest it would go and that was downhill in neutral or off a cliff! Unfortunately he is no longer around to confirm exactly what the car was.
This sedan left the factory with a 4:10 rear end, so speed-wise it's no worse than anything else in it's class.

That was so smart of someone to make a protective throw cover for the top of the rear armrest. The sun can really destroy that part of the upholstery.

I recall that the sixes were capable of remarkable torque.

Guys, I' sorry, but I've misplaced the original ad, and consequently the link. I think that it likely came from Facebook, or maybe Craigslist.

I don't want to become a "broken record" on this topic, but I can't imagine an Iowa car without a heater.

I don't know what good the white letter tires do, though.

It looks like it has been resting gently in a garage, not a field or a barn. OHV 4. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect.

Butterscotch was indeed a very art deco color. It was a hugely popular color in bakelite:

I like that color, caramel.
No, this Packard is truly butterscotch colored. Caramel is slightly paler and a hair more brown:

At $32,000 I’m not sure that this Flint will spark a lot of interest or create a burning desire.
OUCH!!!!

39 was still a floor shift for Plymouth I see. I like it. Probably worth somewhere close to the asking price.
Actually, only the cheaper model still had the floor shift the deluxe model (Road King?, maybe) had the column shift.

Well, convertible or X frame notwithstanding, I guess that I expected the Chev to hold up better than it did. Thank you, guys, for weighing in on the subject. In other Minnesota HI way news, the newest and shiniest MN Viking hopeful, 21 year old Jordan Addison was clocked doing 140MPH on I-94over in StPaul in his new Lamborghini. He didn't collide with any one.

Was it a factory convertible or something hacked up to make a convt?/
Ah! I was hoping that might occur to someone. I've seen the word "tribute" attached to some homemade and dangerous cars in recent years. A while back someone was offering a Hudson step down that had it's roof sawed off. In a unibody car like a Hudson, the roof is simply vital to maintaining the body integrity. In order to make a convertible, Hudson added large cast iron pieces under the body to make sure that the body didn't sag in the middle. To simply cut the roof off would be suicidal. The way that the rocker panel tore open on this Chevrolet convertible made me wonder if this had been modified in some way.

I'm embarrassed that I called it a '65. Of course it's a '64. Just old age, I guess!

I can only speculate about what is mounted to the right of the steering column, but my guess would be a vacuum gauge to indicate mileage.
