Fossil Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 This is not my car and I have no affiliation with it. Seller's Description Price Reduced to $11,000. Car is mostly original and complete. It had been repainted sometime before I purchased in 1986. It was last registered as historical in 1979 and was last driven in October 1987 and has been stored since. The sheet metal is solid, chrome is brillant, but shows slight aging and the under carriage is free of rust. This car would require minor detailing to make road worthy and to keep as historical, or it would be an easy total restoration project. All offers will be considered. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/422522842696487/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks More photos at the site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63RedBrier Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I LOVE the door handles and the gauge pod! Are the rear door handles missing? Or, is it a coupe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Looks like a 2 door sedan. The front seats look like they fold forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 The terms "coupe", "coach", and "two-door sedan" have been used interchangeably since before this car was new. Different manufacturers used different terms at different times. My 1925 Studebaker I had years ago had been called a "coach" in original advertising. Personally, I tend to prefer "two-door sedan" simply because it confuses the fewest people. "Coupe" I think should mostly reserved for the common usage of two to three passenger enclosed bodies with a full trunk or rumble seat behind the passenger compartment, or to a lesser extent the four passenger short-coupled coupes sometimes also called an "opera coupe". Those "opera coupes" were also often called "Victoria coupe", or sometimes "Vicky" for short. Unfortunately, history and marketing of the past did not help much by playing around with the terminology they used at the time. I doubt that we as hobbyists will ever reach a real consensus about how all these terms should be used. Nice looking car! I don't do facebook. I wonder how the interior is? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ought to shop for a pickup with more than 2 doors. Manufacturers all use different names and it's really confusing. King cab, extended cab, crew cab, and on and on. Here's the interior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Fossil, thank you for the interior pictures! I always like to see how the original interiors compare to the (more or less?) restored exterior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 I'd call that mood interior. Mine is in similar condition and it puts me in the mood to enjoy a trip back in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I certainly dont mean any offense to anyone here with an original int. but when I see that my first thought is 'I cant imagine what that smells like!' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to keep my two unrestored but driving cars {1929 Chevrolet coach & 1931 Model-A Ford roadster} in my barn. When I would first open the side door and step into the building after being out a day or so. The "patenia" smell was so euphoric that it literally was indescribable......🤪 Capt. Harley😉 Skirts are for women and not car fenders! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually in my case I'm not aware of any disagreeable odors. No one that has had a ride in it has mentioned anything. I can see where your coming from though. Especially if it's been stored in undesirable conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hudson would go on to use the word "brougham" to describe their two door sedan models in the future, as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
