Hello all, it's time to unload the Streamliner. I started here, not wanting to see it cut up and ruined. Any of you folks should be able to appreciate it the way it was meant to be, which is what I'd like to see. I don't want to sell it but don't have the time to fix it up, need the space it's in, you know, the usual stuff. I've had it about 10 years and the pictures were taken when I brought it home. Since then all I've done is tear it apart. Everything is in the same condition you see, just scattered in different buildings out back. There are a few bad spots on the frame, probably fixable if you have the experience but I was also advised it might be easier to just get another frame. So far as I could tell at the time, it was missing the hood ornament and the trunk lid, although the trim and handle for it are there. Other than that, it should be complete. Here's the sticking point I guess: I don't have a title for it. It would have to be a bill of sale situation, which should be able to get you started. It's located in Shamokin Dam Pennsylvania, about and hour and a half north of Hershey. My phone number is 717-554-6334. Asking $4,000 although that's certainly open to discussion. I'm not the greatest at carrying my phone, so please leave a message and I'll get back to you whenever I find it. Kyle.

I'm in the little town of Shamokin Dam, right across the river from Sunbury.

I'm in central PA, about an hour twenty north of Hershey, and everyone should know where that is. This is the frame currently. You can see that the part that curls up is pretty much gone, and the bottom is very thin. There are also some holes in the upright portion. This continues toward the front for another couple feet. The passenger side isn't quite as bad, but it's starting. What do you guys think? Thanks for any advice on this. Lots of working on cars, but this is the first attempt at a restoration.

Here is what the car looked like when I brought it home, as well as a shot of the frame when I pulled it out. To get a current picture of the frame would require chipping the ice off the cover and that's not how I wanted to spend my weekend. The spot in question is actually on the drivers side but I don't have a photo looking that direction. The curved part of the frame behind the wheel is where it's the worst, although it does extend up toward the front a bit as well. The bottom portion of the frame is rolled upward in that section as well. Does anyone know what the reasoning behind that was? It's only next to the rear wheels, on the curved part. Strength I guess...I had a few thoughts as to how to go about fixing it up but maybe someone on here has done this already, or maybe I should just stay away, in which case, as a couple of you suggested, a new frame may be best.

Hello all, This is my first post here, so let's see if this works...I've got a '47 Streamliner that has a pretty significant amount of rust on the frame. Most of it is just scaly but remains solid. There are a few spots though where I can break away pieces with my finger. That's not what I wanted to find. If the side rail is shaped like a "C", then it would be the bottom horizontal section that has the issues, if that makes sense. My question to you guys is: How much, if any, experience does anyone have with fixing this type of problem? I can hold my own with a welder, but am by no means a professional. Maybe it's not even worth it, I don't know... The frame sits out back under a cover, as well as a couple feet of snow at the moment, so pictures could be hard to get. I guess I'll go do some digging tomorrow morning after work to see if I can get some pictures for you. Thanks in advance for any advice.
