Flivverking Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) 8:30 hit the Elephant's trunk flea market in New Fairfield Ct. (Still here) and spotted this decent driver Chebby" Malibu" rag top in the lot..To new for me as it seems like yesterday they were on the streets all the time and we were doing donuts in the snow with them in high school in 70's and duct tapping the canvas. I'm sure some here will like to see it? It had a columnshift lever( power glide originally ?) and 2 after market gauges mount on the lower middle dash over the hump ,who knows how stock under the hood ?..but it looks like a good daily beater even with mods.

Remember modern cars have at least 18 cup holders, this one probably doesn’t have any. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Well.... often folks park something with good intentions. No inside storage. We will get to it soon is their moto. And then years go by and nature takes over as they never quite have the money, or time, to get it done. First rule of preservation is to have good and dry inside storage for any vehicle that you feel is worth saving to minimize the ravages of time and disintegration. If you do not have inside storage then pass it on to someone who does. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
