  1. Thank you for the info. I am well aware of the age of a car like this, I am driving old cars sinds I was 19 years old, and I am 44 years old now, so I do have some experiens. The oldest car that I had, en still have on this particular moment is a cadillac series 62 ( 4 window ) flattop 1959, this car is in real good shape, has not been restored, still has the original interior en still looks as it is a car of a year and a half old, and also drives like one. I dont have to say that I am very proud to owne one and feel privileged to drive a car like this. But I realize that a 1952 windsor is realy something else, also your commends make that very clear. Driving a car like that is a big step back in time, as I read in your words, I must say that it doesn't scare me but it does give me stuff to think about. The cadillac is compared to modern cars still a comfortable car with very goed driving quality's, and the windsor is not. Funny you mensioned the brakes, becourse the main brake-cilinder is in revision on this moment according to the owner. Do you have any idea what the value of a car like this is ( buying and selling ), I could not find any thing about it, and I dont like the idea of paying to much for it. The shape is very good, all original no rust not repainted the only thing that needs looking after is a crack in the seat ( clothing ) drivers side. I wil surely read the info on the fluiddrive and thanks for sharing your knowleds with me, if there is anything else I would like to hear it. By the way, an other option for me is an 1959 edsel ranger, if there is anything you can tell me abouth a car like that then that is very welcom too. You ask me what kind of use that I had in mind for the windsor, I believe that a car, any kind of car is made to use it and that is what I would do if the deal comes throuh, I dont believe in parking a car in a garage ( I dont have one annyway ) and just look at it, and only thake it out for a sunday drive, if the weather allowes you to . In my opinion you have too use it becourse thats wen a car comes too live, and you can taste its carracter and thats more worth than a thousend looks. An other thing is that a car thats a daily used one, stayes in good running order and cars that stands still in a garage only used now and than, do have all sorts of problems, brakes that wil stick and gaskets get blown away, things like that. like to hear from you... And thanks again.
  2. I am bussy buying a chrysler windsor ( two door ) 1952 ( splitwindow ) My question is the following: does any body have advice for me, were to look for ad this type of car, are there special weeknesses, in the boddy, or engine, or transmission. It has a six cilinder engine and fluitdrive transmission. The previus owner says that it is not a fully automatic transmission but a semi-automatic tranny. Is that correct and how does that work wile driving it. If any body can help me with information aboud this type of car, I would be more than happy. The car is in very good shape all original and the color is white, the owner says it is not restored or re-painted, maybe there is a way to check on this?? ( please dont tell me It is a wrong choice, becourse I realy dont want to hear that ) okay tell me annyway. Does any one know how much of this type of car ( two door coupe, but not htp )there are produced. hope to here from you.
  3. I remember coming across a buick a long time ago ( I dont know the exact year or model but I know it was a 50's car if my memory is correct it was a 55 century )and it had a starter in the exelarator pedal as you sayd, you had to floor the exelarator padal to activate the starter, so I am sure it must be some kind of switch.
