    Gorgeous spring day in New England. High 50s, bright blue skies. I managed 20 odd miles in a couple different cars.

    The 33/34 Pontiac is very cool and perhaps this one would yield some good parts to a better car. Although it looks to be on the rough side of things. Maybe combine it with this coupe to make one car.

    Thanks. I wasn't 100% sure on that one. But I've spent a lot of quality time with the Cord and that is definitely a unibody with a front stub frame.

    Definitely a unibody. Also what about the Chrysler airflow? I sort of recall that might’ve been too, and that was earlier.

    Supply and demand John. If they had made 5000 instead of 50, then they would be 100 K. But if you are a basic billionaire with your own private collection, a Tucker is dir rigor. by the way, aren’t these running cord 810/812 transmissions? Those transmissions are barely adequate for a car half as big. I just can’t imagine them holding up at all.

    2 door Ambassador is cool. But sadly this car is not something that can be saved, even at the low entry price of free.

    For a point of reference see this sign. The ask is 1850. https://www.ebay.com/itm/296383620871

    If you wanna go fast buy a Duesenburg. If you want technical coolness buy a cord, if you want over the top fit and finish buy a Rolls Royce. If you like ball bearings on your spring shackles, buy a Pierce. However, if you want some super nice to drive buy a later Packard 12.

    They are mechanically interesting and cosmetically hideous. My biggest issue is the amount of money they bring and the fact that almost none them run, or run well. The subject of this thread is a whole other kettle of fish which I will refrain from commenting on.

    I know nothing about signs. And you didn’t say how big it was? However, Packard stuff is still very popular. And I would imagine that’s worth $500 all day long. Even as a reproduction.

    I believe it says that it lubricates the water pump. Per Matt’s recommendation I just put a bottle in our 812 cord.

    This sold last week on BAT for 40K and is an interesting comp. What is a Jag engine rebuild these days? 20K? It has that going for it. There are 61K in receipts and the car is 40% done. That would be my math. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1956-jaguar-xk140-roadster-18/

    Your point about the paperwork is 100% correct. It is very hard to sell a car without a title as 75% of the buyers don't want to deal with it. However, price guides are toilet paper so don't trust their numbers.

    Steve, did you say the 63 has the most desirable styling? I can't think of a more expensive 60s car to work on.
