Well my name is Chris and I have been working on a 51 Chevy Styline Deluxe. The car was bought brand new in 51 and the owner passed away in 58 and son parked it in 59. It was stored in a garage in Illinois until six years ago. I have a buddy of mine that doesn't work on Chevy. He is die hard Ford and Ford only. Well this car was his wifes Great Grandmas car and after her grandpa passed away he inheritated it in the will. I was looking to get rid of a suburban I had and traded him straight up for it. Everything is original on the car and there is some rust that needs to be taken care of. It will be primer black with pin striping until I can pay for a paint job. Will post pics when i get a new camera. Old one doesn't work anymore.
Welcome from the SC coast of SC. If your frind is a ford man why did he want your suburban? good luck with that 51 chevy.
