Grimy Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hydramatic? Not until 1941, and this car has a stock 1939 shift lever. They mixed in 3 detail photos (2 of hood trim, one of right side exterior sill trim) of the 1941 60S that is also on the floor. I was dismayed to see the alternator, but the regulator cover is printed 6V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Nice car. Looks like an easy restoration from this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 @f.f.jonesI had not read the comments when I made the post, but had thoroughly read the listing itself--which still has not been corrected. And your point is....? I owned a 1939 75 7-p sedan (no division glass) for 42 years, so am reasonably knowledgeable about these cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I'll wager that 15 PSI of compressed air would add at least a thousand bucks to the final bid... 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooklyn Beer Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Some of the comments on BAT really make you wonder if people have ever driven in a car older then 5 years past new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an idiot on there telling me anybody could rebuild a Pierce 12. I had to throw Ed at him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
