  2. Amazon has white shop rags. Also consider the white washcloths available from them.
  3. Congrats, Paul. Where are you located? Lots of help available here. And.....here's mine coming out of a PA garage....
  4. In the issue before last, the Hagerty magazine devoted a lot of space to patina. There's a strong following, which includes me, for the preservation and enjoyable use of safe, reliable but unrestored cars. Submitted for your consideration (or consternation) is this 23,000 mile '54 Coupe De Ville It appears to have all of the pieces, and if you squint just right you can see that beneath the crud lurks a solid car that would cost a kings ransom to restore, but will buff up to a suedey lustre for a hundred bucks. Tires, exhaust, brakes, carb & radiator won't be free, but you see where I'm going.....
  5. Not the best photos or most informative listing, but looks like a nice 400. It's apparently being presented by a friend of the family, who learned that the initial ask of $35,000 was a tad high. I will take that as "Jeez, this is a really nice car. Gotta be worth over $30k" Either that, or the wife found the binder of receipts! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/672684087996521/?mibextid=jrrUqu
  6. Here's one that doesn't seem to come up very often: https://m.facebook.com/groups/16027154035/permalink/10161057761949036/?ref=share&mibextid=NOb6eG
  7. So I went to look at the Hudson this morning. It was about an hour down to South Jersey, a beautiful part of a state the rest of which is usually the justifiable butt of many jokes. Owner Jim has a nice little spread there, with a horse and several alpacas. Long story short.... 1) very solid car with a well-preserved interior. However, I think I want to step up a price point for an older restoration. 2) not sure I'm a Hudson guy after all. For a big car, my 6'4" frame was pretty tight. I will be reaching out to another owner to see if he can tutor me a bit, but ......... It was time well spent, though, with the usual conversation drifting about from cars to real estate to retirement. Good car that someone else will enjoy.
  8. They don't often come up for sale here in NJ, so I want to take this opportunity to look. https://www.facebook.com/groups/16027154035/permalink/10160941967179036/?mibextid=v0g6SZ It has a replacement twin H engine. What should I consider in order to tap my emotional brakes?
  9. By all indications, this is a very nice car for $13,500 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1345394983051948/?mibextid=dXMIcH
  10. Better yet....think I can get anything at what he told her it cost? I had to drag that old punchline in. Everybody knows....you just don't tell!
  11. This Nash was in the crosshairs of a small block assault, but is now offered in NJ. Knowing very little about these, the darn thing looks ready for a bath and some gas. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1336048677340972/?mibextid=dXMIcH
