Well it came from Wisconsin was in California at some point due to a few news paper pieces in the late 40s . Supposedly was in a garage since 59 . Taillights and interior date it mid to late 50s . Had a v8 for sure not a flathead as the rad had radiator outlets blocked off . All chrome garnish moldings . Motor mounts on the floor of the car Purple 32 packard 900 dash Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

That is very neat Flop. I like the interior too. Must have been a cool hot rod or show car Sent from my E6810 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Judging from the radiator mods, the modified early sbc front motor mounts and the exhaust header pipe that would most likely line up with 265 exhaust manifold it had a SBC in it. I have no idea what the fuel pump is for.
I'd take it all apart, dip or blast everything, and do it the way you want. To me it's a found car that could have been great 50 years ago with the current trend of the day but no longer. Personally I don't want white t&r running boards or fender wells and "showcar" trends of the past. Now if you have filled top from the 60-70's your a frowned heavy on. It will always your choice...damned if you do and damned if you don't..good luck.
If floor in the trunk has 2 patch's, one on each side of the driveshaft tunnel, the the car probably had a factory radio !
Hard to see the other one but in the same spot as the other side. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
The AC pump is surely a two stage Olds item. What a project! Can't wait to see what you do with this one Flop.
Scary how close that looks to my car when I found it . Mine has Pontiac tail lights , chrome garnish moldings , filled shell , chrome spreaders and black lacquer . It must have been the in stuff many moons ago . Great fine , it’s in the best of hands . Make Henry proud ! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
