AdamInNH Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Nice car. But… if that ghetto wiring job is at all indicative of the workmanship level on this car, better run for the hills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f.f.jones Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I wonder if his teen-aged daughter(s) or his mother-in-law "helped" him choose the paint and upholstery colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I must be the only one who likes this car. But I do. Waterfall wiring, odd colored upholstery and all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 There is a science to the length and curvature of wires, when running them down. A straight shot down will cause the electricity to fall and puddle in the bottom of the wire.🤔 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 My first real antique automobile was a 1929 Reo semi-sport coupe (had dummy landau irons). It was very similar to this. Its original mohair upholstery was green. Not quite as bright as this is, but not all that far off from it either. And the original leather on the rumble seat cushions was also green! It was a great road car! Handled corners remarkably well. I often drove it a bit over 50 mph on the freeways. I had it up to almost 60 mph once, going up a moderately steep hill, just to see what it could do. I backed off at that point, satisfied of the car's abilities. However it was still accelerating at that speed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
