edk Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I'm the latest caretaker of this 52 Cornet. Just over 16,000 miles. Was one of the unsold cars from Bob Hooper's Plainsview Texas dealership. The previous owner had it for 28 years, and he got it with under 1000 miles I believe. It has had mechanical repairs brakes tires etc. Original paint and interior, except for the floor mat and kick panels. I have been polishing and am not quite done but most of it has come out quite good. 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Model56s Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 A treasure. I especially like the pattern and color on the dash finish. Does it have the flat head 6 or the hemi v8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edk Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 It's the flat six, yes that dash paint I hadn't seen that nice before either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
