All of a sudden, there seem to be a bunch of good choices for anyone who's got $25K or so stashed away!  This one is at the top of list for me.

WOW!  Now that's an impressive survivor.  i love the originality!  It's a pretty cool pre-war coupe and I hope it goes to a new owner that will continue to preserve it. GLWTS

He had been at a pretty firm 29500. for the last year.  

 

I keep eyeballing it and it's not too far away from me.  I like it,  but as you all see,  lots of good cars are coming up in that price range.  

 

I keep thinking I could sell the 33 Plymouth coupe and buy it.  It would probably be an even wash,  but the 33 Plymouth is a cool car itself.   So much I cut the 47 Hudson pickup and kept it.  Enough I even bought $1500 worth of new tires for it last month.

Refreshing to see such an original!

Heavy restraint needed for me not to pull the trigger on this one!

Considered taking a look at this one also last year before Packard purchase so yeah it's been out there a while and was due for a price adjustment.  Bought a different "P" car for not too much more than his $29k ask last year.

 

That said this one is a bit nicer than my very first car,  which was one tie I did think on a bit...

This looks almost like one that I almost bought up here last year, only this one is a bit rougher and has a white top. Considering the one I missed out on was ~30k USD, this would be a decent pickup. If I had the space and money, I'd be doing a roadie to Vermont. Drove an original '40 Plymouth last year and it was a nice ride.

 

And yes there's a lot of decent cars coming up as of late. People being squeezed out of storage I guess?
