alsancle Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I have always liked these. Yellow and no title will make this harder to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Left hand drive is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhend50 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I know nothing about these cars. Is it normal for the gauges to be on the right and the steering wheel on the left, or has this car been converted to left hand drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 All American delivery cars were LHD. I have paid attention to these for years and have never seen a RHD in the US. I'm sure they are around but there are lots more of LHD here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Wonder how bad it really is? Paint may be terrible for concourse, but it's alot better than some paint jobs I have seen. I didn't see any cracking or lifting. Wet sand and buff. If the floors aren't rotten, detail it up and get it running. Not sure what good ones sell for.

1912Staver Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Great cars, but as far as I know a wood, body structure. So rough ones { like this one seems to be according to the seller } means a very big rebuild. If profit is the goal this is probably the last car a person would want to be involved with. Strong club support. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the positional relationship with windshield center division and wiper switch. Old leather and wood interior looks so good I can almost smell it from the pictures. - Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gungeey Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I would think that emergency brake lever could hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bloom Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Not the project for me, but I can certainly see why someone with more skill and experience than me might bite. If this could be the end product, it is very attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
