    That would be cool with a '50 Merc treatment.

    I looked up the ad in the HAMB cl***ifieds because I was confused about what Fordson (Ford’s tractor brand) had to do with a ‘32 five window. It turns out that the Hot Rod article was ***led ’Fordsun’. It’ll take a long time to sell, particularly because of the offensive caricature on the trunk lid (I won’t show it here, you can see it in the ad.) It is part of the car’s history, but times have changed.
    The price doesn’t help.

    Here's one that really is interesting and inexpensive. Sure, a '51 Dodge 4 door isn't the most exciting old car ever, but it's a complete car with nice chrome and interior that'd be a perfect ultra-low-budget project for someone to learn the basics of mechanics and paint/bodywork on. With some work, you could have this car on the road and finished for less than some people spend on a set of wheels and tires.

    It's a 1951. The SS trim, dash and the hood tell the story.

    It’s a Ford O Matic car so it has to be a ‘51. If I didn’t have one already I might consider buying it. Mine need some work but nowhere near what this one needs….. IMG_4356.jpeg
