Re: '57 2Dr Sedan

Made up a display case with all the items in it that were found during the tear down of the 57. The VERY rusty feeler gauges, two pocket knives and the Coors beer opener were found after removing the front clip. Didn't try to oil and free up the feeler gauges. Both knives opened just fine, reasonably sharp but just leaving them with the other items. The rectangular patch was brazed with brass rod near the LH rear wheel well opening. All the other items were found near front windshield/defrost duct area after removing the windshield and inner trim. Thought the cigarettes might be of the "roll your own" variety until got them out and seen the factory filters. Thought everything should make a neat display along with a picture album when taking the 57 to local car shows.
