I find all makes and models in all price ranges have the potential to be very interesting. If one does not interest me, I just move on to the next one. Too eclectic to try to categorize. I often see cars close to my location which always catch my attention first. I am not in the market and it doesn’t cost anything to look!

1968 Ford F250 - The daily driver
Jeff Perkins / Mn replied to Lahti35's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Can’t believe I just had the same running problem with my ‘48 Chrysler. After installing a complete tune-up kit on my car including points, condenser, rotor, and new cap I had a definite hi speed miss which I could not find a cause for. Sooooo, I read your post and lo and behold I had the same issue, 90 deg boots on straight wires. I too the boots off, plugged the wires back in. Yep, that was it. Reached 75mph without missing a beat (that does take a while in a fluid drive Chrysler 😂). Ordered new straight boots. Thanks to you for your posting and your astute observational skills!! -

I remember this one from way in the past. This thread was one of the best I have read about a restoration. It is in the same league as some more recent ones, such as ones by @Lahti35 and @Matt Harwood.

'48 Chrysler New Yorker...A Rolling Pig Sty

LAZY LAZY LAZY………….. -
A Fluid Drive Chrysler is soooo easy to drive,, almost like an automatic transmission. Really. If you don’t know or understand how to use the Fluid Drive just ASK and anyone who owns or drives one (like me!) and we can walk you through it.

Nice car…..was posted and commented on last spring. Tough sell in today’s world. Here are my comments from then…. “Looks like a very nice car for the $$$……..a friend has an Overland and it is a nice tidy car, fun to ride in. I like the exterior patina on this one combined with a nice interior. Cheap fun!”

I bought this ‘26 T from a long time friend. I would stop by his place in SE Minnesota 3-4 times a year to visit. Watched him restore this one. He has restored many cars and enjoys the process. He moves on to a new project and rarely drives the cars he restores, just parks them until someone comes along to buy one. He is 94 now, mentally sharp but the old bod is breaking down. He still has 10 or so cars, some restored, some just drivers. Wants to sell all but his asking is usually high. He gave me a good deal though on the T. -
