    I just acquired this five window from a guy in Tulsa who just moved there from Colorado. He bought the car already built from someone in Kentucky or Tennessee. He doesn't know much about the car's build history and I know even less. Does anyone here recognize the car or know anything about it?

    Looks like a nice car. Pretty basic from what's shown. Shouldn't be too tough to figure out how to maintain it. Enjoy it!

    Steering/pitman arm at that angle might cause some issues?
    No experience with a setup like that, I just read the HAMB;)

    Fine looking ride!

    that is how the steering arm and pitman arm are supposed to be, real similar if not identical to the way Henry Ford did them originally. there will be no bump steer with that setup

    @Sancho I think it`s in Colorado. The owner( (not Sancho) has talked about it on the HAMB. Posted pic`s of it as well. In Primer.

  24. Must be an old build with all that chrome on the front end.

  25. That car is perfect !! Congratulations on being the new owner.

    previous owner was a little old lady who only drove it to church on sundays and the store on Wednesday’s . Kept her all nice n pretty so you can peel the tires off her !!!
     
  26. Y'all are making me laugh- the crew my dad hung out with in high school (Lower Merion class of '51) had some interesting nicknames, one of which was "Sweet pants"... poor fella apparently had a issue of passing gas frequently and powerfully :p
