First post here so I'm probably messing something up! Apologies in advance. I bought this with a collection of cars. I'm not well versed and thought this would be the best place to get a value. I'm told the build was done in 1952 and purchased in '56. The car remained with the same owner until I purchased it this year. It has been in the same climate controlled garage for over 50 years and last driven about 30 years ago. There were some small local drives since but largely it sat. It had a tender and fuel stabilizers so it wasn't neglected. We replaced the battery, wheel cylinders, rebuilt the master cylinder, replaced the spark plugs, new fan belt, new oil/filter and topped off the transmission and differential. It runs excellent, shifts properly, charging system works, door poppers work, horn works, brakes were converted to 'juice brakes' and work well. It has two tops including the pictured hard top as well as a folding top. The rumble seat and hood were stolen from a car show in the 90's and the car was never taken out & shown again. A replacement hood was located but never painted to match. The seat was not replaced. There is some rust in the lower body corners but nothing that jumps out. Keep in mind it is a largely un-touched 72 year old build. This build is largely un-touched so there are some nicks, scratches & wear. Overall it's very impressive for the age. Any thoughts on value would be appreciated.
Cool ride ......A question if I may, the front tire is not centered in the front fender, is this normal or has the front axle been moved ?? ..... Thanks Ricky.
