    Funny that this should come up again at this time, I haven't seen or spoken to owner since pic's were taken BUT I did do a drive by a couple days ago, seen no life, so proceeded home. If someone is truly interested I could check into it further, get contact info and step back and watch what happens..................................

    I would be tempted but need to get the 27 T Tudor gone.

    Just think of how much body work costs, you will be saving the 4gs you paid for the car by not having to spend it on bodywork. A convoluted way of saying it's worth it.

    A very old thread I just found, but because I'm working on a Marquette myself...
    @brigrat It would have been an interesting build, I'm sure
    Two things I'd like to add:
    #1 It will never be a Ford.
    If you really want a deuce coupe, just forget the odd makes, get a Ford instead, or you'll probably regret it.
    #2 You might want to replace the wood on this kind of car. It's doable, but at might add a year to the build. It did for me, I replaced it all with metal.

    I wanted an odd sedan, so the Marquette seemed perfect. I also had no idea how much work it would be to remove the wood.
    Oblivion, as they say, is bliss.
    I have a project thread here, I call it a Buick, not many would recognize the Matquette name anyway. Sorry, I couldn't make a clickable link:
