I was given a 1950 Studebaker Champion by a friend of the family when I graduated high school. It was a dark teal color. I never warmed up to the style of the car, but drove it for two years and sold it for $50. This car looks like it in nice shape. GLWTS

Very a beautiful car from front to back, inside and out. That said, when you restore a car there is a ceiling as to what the car is worth. The time to determine that value is when restoration starts. Don't throw 40k at a 20k car and expect someone to pay for your cost over runs. GLWTS

IMO all 4-door hard tops look their best when photographed from the side with all four windows down. No matter what the make when the car is photographed this way you can't miss the absence of the "B" pillar and that is the selling point.

I agree with Crusty Trucker regarding the gas tank, but the rest of the truck looks ok and would be a nice project at a fair price IMO.

The '64 is nice, but if I can have only one Wildcat, mine would have to be a '65...

Much sleeker roofline IMO. Beautiful car.

Speak to 2Carb40 I believe that he could help you out. It's about 3" wide and 9" long with a bolt hole on one end.

I sure do like the style of this car. It appears to not have been driven for some time. Additional pictures of the interior would be nice and maybe a pic of the engine compartment would help the sale. Often the owner of these pre war cars neglect to re wire the cars and if I was a buyer, that would help determine the value. I don't know the value of this car, but what I do know is that there are many mobile detailers that could help to make this car more presentable. GLWTS

I sorta like it, as I do like cars, or trucks with fins. Great looking paint with the two tone colors. That said, I would have to do some research on the layout of the cab. It seems to me that a high end truck like this would have a nicer dash than what is presented. GLWTS

Nice looking, well cared for car. Is this a four passenger car similar to the Buick Special?
-
The Dodge looks out of proportion to me. A nicely finished car, but I would prefer the Plymouth if I were looking to purchase a Mopar style wise.

Very nice looking car. Some close ups of the details of the car would go a long way, but sure looks good to me.

IMO the style of this Plymouth is a lot nicer looking than some of the three window MOPARS that have been listed. The C pillar flows into the trunk on this car. What would concern me on the car, is that it seems as though the wiring is original to the car. I would verify that with the seller. Handsome looking car.

Don't know how you could remove the dashboard; isn't it welded to the the front chassis box?
Not welded, mine was removed, painted and re installed. Problem is the wiring under the dash is a bit complex and I just finished that last summer and It will be awhile before I want to do that again.

Here's a shot of the right rear of the car. I was a bit dubious that the color contrast would work. However I am very happy with it. Yeah I know the gravel guards are not looking very spry and are missing the backing plate the the rubber mat bonds to. But to buy new ones from Bob's is no cheap affair and I haven't run across any NOS used one either.
Well you know what I always say, "unless you take your car to a meet that has several 1940 Buicks, no one will spot this unless you point it out". I have one perfect gravel guard and one that has been well used. So until I get the other one fixed, I will not put them on the car. I spoke to a representative from Steele Rubber and he said that I could have one done instead of buying a pair. It's on my list. I am beginning to make peace with the fact that the car will never be perfect.

Looking good to me and if you have to freshen it up in years to come, you know where the right color is.

BTW, wood grain was very washed out,so my wife did a "fix" by woodgraining it herself. Passable,but in no way perfect.
As to other points; front bumper is fine, no chroming done on the dash panels. Correct: no bumper guards!
There is a wet transfer process that I did not know about until a few months ago that looks great and is affordable that I am still investigating. I saw a Cadillac that looked like the dash was made of burl wood. My car is not complete, but I don't want the dash window to look like furniture.

Nice looking car, but a few extra pics would help with in sale IMO.

I have seen a few of these four door Thunderbirds, but not many. An attractive car in an unusual color that I like. The car is in such nice shape, I was surprised to see the missing hub cap.

I agree with you on all of these nits, but when you add up the cost to correct these items it is offset by the very nice paint that has been applied and the correct Bedford Cord interior. Is this car perfect? No, but I started from scratch with my car and I know the cost of what has been done and what can be done to correct the nits and I believe that you are way ahead of the game as this car sits. I am probably in the minority when it comes to the woodgrain, as I know it came that way originally, but I did not do the woodgrain on my dash and other areas. Buick did two colors of the wood grain in 1940. When I removed the speaker grill in 2012, I was surprised to see the ugly green wood grain that had not seen the light of day since 1940. I could have had someone replicate this ugly color, but I chose to go a different route and do a dark grey. Is it correct? No, but I have seen many wood grains that are no where near what was applied in 1940. So given my past experience, I would give him a pass on the wood grain.

Very nice looking car, the two tone paint looks fantastic. GLWTS

Very nice looking Ford, my only concern is the statement that the car has been stored for years. Has it been sorted out after coming out of storage, or is that on the buyer?

Nice car and a great price if there is 10K under the front seat.

Very beautiful car, but not sure if the price is accurate. There sure is no shortage of this model around. Ford built a ton of these cars and I believe that you could build this car from scratch with only a vin number to work with. The six cylinder cars in this body style are very plentiful. Sure is a very nice example though. GLWTS
