    Picked this up. Been in storage since early 80's. Was repainted once in 1979. Super solid ride. Should be a nice sled to roll in this summer.

    Taildragger! I am planning on lowering the back and throwing some wide whites and wires on it. Other then that, just cruise. Have more pics on my other computer and I am currently out of town working.

    Earth? As in Earth, Texas??

    Edit: Never mind.. Found your Intro. Nice find!
     
  11. Please drop it level or not at all... it has too many contradictory lines to be a tail dragger. It will look like a new Lincoln that the owner can't afford to replace the rear air setup in. Nice find though.

    Nice find! I owned a '57 from '84-'92 and they are nice highway cruisers.

    Back in the mid-70s I came out of a grocery story and there was a very nice '55 Coupe about the color of yours. As I was admiring it, a little old lady with red-orange hair came up and said, "It's not for sale, sonny. I'm 84 years old, I bought it new, and I'm gonna keep it 'til I die."

    Interior is actually really nice although it had been redone in the late 70's when it was repainted! Has stock pattern on the seats but it is not the correct material.
