  1. I would like to find 2 NOS 1960 DeSoto tail lenses so I don't have to make new ones as well as 2 small stainless trim pieces that go on the outside corners by the front vent window of the windshield trim --- may also fit a 60 Chrysler
  2. I used to enjoy driving this car but knee issues are forcing me to sell all of our manual shift cars including this one and we are keeping only the automatic transmission cars. In the past two years this car has had a complete repaint ( original paint was sun bleached and faded but body shop did not find rust ), new convertible top, new carpet, new tonneau cover, new dash pad, new interior trim , 4 x new tires and a battery, new brake master cylinder and flex lines and steel brake lines and wheel cylinders, a new ignition switch. and exhaust system from the manifold back to the tail pipe including the muffler is also less than a year old. I am sure there is more that I forgot. Stainless and chrome show well but could use a cleaning from storage as does the entire car since it is parked outside under a car cover. The front grille has a dent but looks like it could be pulled back out I just have not bothered trying. Murphy's law if I tried it - The hood release cable is there but the knob came off and is in the console. This is a great ' driver ' quality car that still shows well as is, or you can bring it up to the next level and make a show car. Your choice. As it is a 57 year old used car, it is sold as is, where is , with no warranties. Clean Florida title in our name. Car is parked in our driveway and can be seen most anytime. Mileage posted is what is on the odometer but I have no idea if it has gone around or not. Nothing wanted in trade. $ 16,500 or best reasonable offer.

In the past two years this car has had a complete repaint ( original paint was sun bleached and faded but body shop did not find rust ), new convertible top, new carpet, new tonneau cover, new dash pad, new interior trim , 4 x new tires and a Napa battery, new brake master cylinder and flex lines and steel brake lines and wheel cylinders. I am in the process of installing a new ignition switch that is expected to arrive this week - old one just quit and froze up this past weekend when I went to move the car.

Murphy's law if I tried it - The hood release cable is there but the knob came off and is in the console. The car needs to be driven. From sitting, like any old car things start to not work and this car needs to be driven to keep things lubricated and moving. Sadly, it is just sitting under a car cover at the side of our garage now.

  4. Reducing my literature collection and posting things here Very nice condition for it's age and complete, 1966 Plymouth salesman's facts book - color and trim - options - specs- etc / all models $ 650.00 or best offer plus shipping or pick it up for free in Naples Florida
  5. Reducing my literature collection and automobilia collection and will be posting things here A very nice condition, 1969 Buick Color and Trim binder - $ 650 or best offer plus shipping or pick it up in Naples Florida sorry photos are all over the place - this site apparently does not give you an option to twist them straight like ebay or other sites
  6. I am reducing my literature collection and came across this seemingly mint Playboy Motor Car Co. post card $ 12.00 Price includes shipping in the US -- extra for Canada or world wide
  7. I have the 1941 Supercharged Graham Hollywood and my friend has the Cord --- The Graham drives better and both cars have been completely restored. Keep in mind that is driving them with today's cars as comps and the Graham drives more like today's cars. The Cord, you can tell you are in an older car even though it was advanced for it's day and drove better I am sure than period cars it was sold against. Photo is my Graham being delivered a few weeks ago - will have to get a pic of my friend's Cord
  8. It is something that someone made using Crosley parts but it isn't a Crosley per se
  9. There is too much to scan and attach here. Anyone can find the same information if they look in the 1969 Buick Color and Trim binder as well as the 1969 Buick Salesman's Guide etc.
  10. After looking at factory literature, factory photos and the 69 Buick Color and Trim book, it seems the Sportwagon 400 came with the trim whether you deleted the fake wood decal or not and the lesser cars did not.
  11. I need a good used ( green tint preferably -SOLEX ) or clear, rear window for a 1955-1956 Dodge 2 door hardtop. It will have to be shipped and I am in Florida. Thanks
