  1. I don't quite understand most of the reactions to this car. Assuming the seller is telling the truth this is a complete running and driving hardtop of a desirable year, in a rare color, for what appears to be a very reasonable price. Whatever happened to the concept of a rough but cool beater? Not everything has to be restored or even heavily refurbished. Just add some tires, blankets on the seats, clean it up and enjoy it as is.

    Here is ( I think - Steve Moskowitz can you chime in here and confirm?  ) a 1933 Oldsmobile hood 0rnament. Die cast chrome plated. 4 1/2 high 10 1/2 long. And it just screams at me "FRAGILE" .

    I am amazed that something like this has survived without being broken or seeing metal fatigue from age and show cracks . Just to remove it from the shell on the car one had to be careful.

    Amazing find, '33 was still prime time for pot metal disease.

  3. 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.
