OOOOOO. Personally I wouldn't have chopped it, but I still want it! Sadly I am too poor, but this is cool.

Looks like a great car but I don't see a lot of stuff selling on this site. Hemmings, marketplace, BaT, etc are the better places to move cars.

I think so. Don't forget the clamp on the outside of the firewall and I think you also need to take the "pad" off the floor to get the gear selector ear through.

So I used 400 grit then 800 grit, then 1000 grit sandpaper. Then some final polishing with a magic eraser.

wow. never seen one. I like it

I just went back and verified I had the email as you posted it above. It matched. I just resent (4/10/24 at 10:55am EST)

Beautiful car, makes me want some peach sherbet!

I had one that might a slight noise and vibration until the tires warmed up, I assumed one was slightly out of round somewhere. It did change as I applied the brake. I know you report no vibrations but might be worth taking the tires in for inspection and balancing.

Thanks for all the tips. I'll try polishing the plastic part. As for the stereo, I'm just going to keep using my portable blue tooth for now. $99 each to recone the speakers, or $99 per pair for reproductions plus an adapter to fit the stock bracket (additional cost was not listed). Plus rebuild of the radio. If I keep the car, I'll do the custom auto sound like I did in the 1957. Fits the stock hole but operates like new. For now, I don't want to spend any additional on unnecessary items as my budget is already tight and IF I sell the car, the new owner may choose differently than I would.

Awesome! In the end did you try the hill?

That left bumper end looks decent... LOL

Want to buy a radio with 8-track. Mine is not working at the previous owner modified the internals of the radio to have an amp and such. Looking for an unmodified original to start from. I assume others will fit? Lesabre/ Riviera of the same years?

Any ideas how to polish up the trunk emblem?
