Wonderful. Clean it, fix the seats and drive it - a lot.

1966 Mercury Marauder, not mine.
TexRiv_63 replied to Xander Wildeisen's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
No Marauder scripts or ID on the 66s except the air cleaner. The sporty version was the S55 with buckets and console and emblems on the quarters. I came close to buying this one which had the 428 "Super Marauder". -

FYI Restosound Radio, Vintage Air in 63 Riviera
TexRiv_63 replied to BulldogDriver's topic in Buick Riviera
I used the VA Gen 4 in my 63 back in 2007. The stock radio would not clear but research back then showed just about any single DIN aftermarket head would. I used a Pioneer unit plus added gauges in the ashtray space and cut the VA controls into the console trim. I actually built a fake stock radio front to save the trim bezel but decided not to use it. Today I would not cut any original parts and would figure out a remote solution. That 63 was the last car I modified for a modern stereo. -
Welcome aboard, what a great car and a wonderful family history of ownership! I am looking forward to following your progress.

1934 REO, not mine.

Seems like a hell of a deal for a Reo ROYALE... -
60 - 61 Starliner is high on my list, plus all the R-code 427 Galaxies.

Here are some photos of my 63 showing the passenger door installed with skin removed. The car was all original with good panel alignment so the relationship of the skin mounting points to the rocker, quarter and front fender may be of some help. Realistically I do think you will probably have to mount the door and adjust then add the skin to check alignment and you may have to repeat the process before you are done.

1920 Studebaker Big Six

Great looking car, looks like it will clean up well. What are your plans? -

Regarding the hood problem, I had a similar issue on the 34 Packard. I found out there were two rubber bumpers on the rear of each hood side that supported the open hood and used friction to keep it from slipping and falling. All of these were completely gone! I found replacements at Steele Rubber and the hood stayed put when it was open.
