Not worth restoring, in my view. Maybe if it was a coupe. Drop in a Caddy 500 cu in engine, apply an interesting body wrap and terrorize the neighborhood.

1950 Ford Custom Deluxe - $13,000
suchan replied to Leif in Calif's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Sharp car. Nothing wrong with a six. Nearly as much HP as the V8, and at lower rpm. -
1957 BMW Isetta, not mine.
suchan replied to Xander Wildeisen's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
One of these with the electric conversion could be a lot of fun. -
1938 PLYMOUTH SEDAN - $9,000 OBO
suchan replied to Leif in Calif's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Good looking car, and might worth the asking if it ran well. -
1939 Special 4-dr sedan, rust-free Texas car
suchan replied to Pete Phillips's topic in Buick - Buy/Sell - Not Mine
Looks like a great first old car for someone. Thanks for posting, Pete. -
Sounds like maybe a sensor gone haywire. I had a problem like that with a '98 Ford Ranger. Looks like a nice car otherwise.

LaSalles are great drivers, comfortable, reasonably roomy, and will keep up on the freeway. If you do a comparison between one in a less-than-attractive setting with dull brightwork and faded black paint to sharp examples of other GM brands, a LaSalle's going to come up short, but a 40-52 done up right is a great-looking car: https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/ooh-la-la-la-salle-1940-la-salle-series-52-coupe This one looks like a decent $10-12K runner.

1926 Packard opera coupe, not mine.
suchan replied to Xander Wildeisen's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Seller badly wants his headache to become someone else's. And only $16.5K for the privilege. -
1935 Oldsmobile, not mine.
suchan replied to Xander Wildeisen's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Too expensive for parts, too tattered inside to make run and drive as is, not desirable enough to bring back. It's going to sit. Too bad, as I think it's a nice-looking car. -
1948 Chevy fleetline - $42,000
suchan replied to Leif in Calif's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
I'm sure the seller didn't expect the car to end up on the AACA website. To another low 'n slow enthusiast, it's probably worth the money, as the builder likely has more than twice the asking price in it. To their credit, the builders of these cars restore them (in the loosest sense) and add a bunch of accessories rather than cut them up like the hot rodders. It's all reversible. -

The Aroma of Manteca endures. At least it did the last time I drove through it. You could be wearing blindfold and know that you were approaching the intersection of highways 120 and 99. Not as strong as a drive-by of Harris Ranch on I-5, though. That'll make your eyes water. -
1947 Cadillac Fleetwood, not mine.
suchan replied to Xander Wildeisen's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
I think these 60 Specials are great-looking cars, and 1947 is my favorite '40's era Cadillac. Hard to justify doing more than a new set of seat covers, but if the drivetrain is in good shape and the seller's flexible.... -
1925 Essex 2dr. Sedan Reduced from $38K to $20K
suchan replied to Leif in Calif's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Looks like a tattered runner you could improve as you drive. I can't see more than Model T money for it, though. You'd have to go way up the food chain to find a 1925-vintage 2-door sedan in #4 condition worth $38K.
