my dad has a couple old neat cars we have been slowly fixing up.
unfortunatly circumstances have changed & he is selling them. thought i would show them before they are gone.
his '49 is a cream puff with only 44600 miles, it's not 144 thousand or 244 thousand. Ex-government car. the man he got it from had just gone thru the 239 flathead, & it runs like a charm, with a very nice sound to it! we replaced the brakes, exhaust, & shocks & went threw all the mechanicals. also re-did the seats & put a new carpet & headliner & trunk mat in it. it was orig. gunmetal grey, but dad went green instead. the car was so clean, we have never taken it apart at all, it's still mostly orig, 6-volt, 3 on the tree, manual everything! all the chrome is there & is in excellent shape with NO pitting. we almost had it done, just had to clean & detail under the hood & find a proper spare for it.
it's too bad, i enjoyed working on this old car-it has been a learning experiance
