While GM cars were updating and streamlining their designs, Packard, Chrysler and other auto makers of that era just fell behind.
I don't know 39-41 Chrysler products were pretty streamlined.

Funny I just did my Daily craigslist search less than an hour ago and it never came up, but yet it does when I follow the link.

I sent a PM and never got a response when he first posted it. As it's a bucket list car I would love to know more about it.

They didn't even have to roll it out of the garage. According to the ad, they could drive it out.

Does it run? Locked up brakes means it's not driving for sure. I think it might be a PB so it has that going for it, but Seems a little steep on the price side. One sold on Hemmings for that about a month ago or less and it was running driving with good chrome and a decent interior I believe for around 12.

International I used a company I think called IPS, to ship a 69 Pontiac executive rear bumper in a crate built for it and it was around $250 or something from NY state USA to Hungary or some other near by European country. which is really reasonable when you consider the size and weight of that shipment. Fed Ex picked it up, but like Pirate ship it's just a company buying and selling discount shipping so you are really sending it in that case by Fed Ex.
For Everything I ship now I like Pirate ship. I often buy lots of literature and just send the people selling them the labels prepaid. I'm sure it's made everything a whole lot easier to get deals done. A lot cheaper on my end as well as they aren't paying high window prices and I get to chose the shipping method. I often will spend a little more to upgrade in hopes of better handling.

I haven't shipped any larger items in a while, but I use a company called Pirate ship to ship all my items every day. They are essentially a middle man that sells shipping from UPS and USPS. The discount on UPS rates is insane. Usually a 40-60 percent or more savings over window prices for foreign and domestic shipments. Might be worth running the numbers through their system for a quote. It's super simple and gives you all the different rates from each company.

It would have been a fun find to be the guy that got it out of the garage, at I'm sure a much reduced price. I kind of like it even with the mods. At probably 20 or less, which I'm sure is what they have in it, it would have been a fun car to get going and clean up, to beat around in. Shame about the front seat. Really no getting around that, unless you got real lucky on a period aftermarket over that looked good/ appropriate.

Longer doors and a longer roof would really help the look. Looks like a 4 door sedan that was cut down by the proportions it has.

Looks pretty clean for the price. Is it original paint? Almost looks like it when you look close.

Less than Model A money. Too bad they didn't add a few more photos. Photos being free and almost everyone having a better camera than they had in the past with their phone, makes you scratch your head. I wish I could find something like this local to play with at that kind of price.

Well, you can't really talk to the one who died
At some point we really need to realize that we can't restrict everybody from living so a few stupid people that natural selection will prevent from breeding will have less of a chance of being selected. (don't worry they'll still find a way) it just means we will have more restrictions on the rest of us.

No air bags, Child safety seats or seat belts. No way they made it.

Goes for all EV's. China has yards full of spent ones. But remember we are being green, just don't talk about recycling the clean lithium batteries they are all saddled with. Wait until they force us to only be able to buy EV's then hit us with a huge disposal fee for the batteries.

I'll take reverse the digits for mine. If anyone really needs one that bad. Mine has the original wool interior not a vinyl replacement. I even put brand new tires on it since the photos.
I might even take a trade if you don't have quite enough scratch at the moment.

I buy and sell literature. Mostly through ebay.
Now is a great chance to pick up some to fill out your collection on the cheap. Almost everything starts at 2.99 no reserve and I'll gladly combine shipping so fill a box. It can even be over a few weeks to maximize shipping value.
Right now we are selling Nash ranging from 1926-1956/ Many large prestige catalogs. You can't touch this stuff from show vendors at these crazy low prices.
Following that is Kaiser Frazer. A few nights of that, then off to Packard. 1935-1958.
Tonight I'll most likely be adding Volkswagen. All Air Cooled, 1950's to mid 1970's
Probably Porsche after that including some 50's pieces up through the 70's, then most likely back to Domestic.
Probably FOMOCO after that where I have alot of Police car and 1940's-1960's Canada Ford stuff. Plenty of stuff I have never had before so it's fairly scarce. Don't miss out.
Here is a link and a few photos of stuff currently listed.

What's up with that funky center dash piece they made up? That looks like something from a mad max episode. Not the truck in general just hat center control. To think I had a rechromed radio grille and nice radio on the shelf I wasn't using.

Well we can keep ignoring the warnings and ramblings of politicians and agencies, but be assured they are in hard press court mode to try to push legislation through without any for thought into how it will impact anything or how the goals will even be achieved. When you live in a state like NY or CA, you really need to pay attention as alot of these edicts become mandates. Funny how they bypass the legislature in alot of these edicts or fail to ask the general public, through proper time to vet the edicts or laws before they are pushed through. Usually when passed by state legislature as part of a huge package of other essential things.
Better to be over cautious than to relinquish one inch/right to ill thought out ideas by keeping our head in the sand.

I would say a 47 Convertible would be a good buy if it was in that shape at that price.

I haven't Used my books to identify parts now for several years, but in the back of my mind that looks like A Cadillac Number if I'm not mistaken. Now it's probably not the part number but casting numbers shared similar numbers and sequences so it might be a direction to go. Could be other GM as well and if I recall correctly late 60's-early 70's?
-
Yeah the box tops just don't work. Hands down a convertible over that, but the "fastback" has really nice lines.

That green convertible sure seems like a good deal if you are looking for anything like this. Good upholstery, plastic on the dash, chrome and for the most part paint and top. Good thing it's not closer I would have to go look at it.
