So I have started a couple of posts about these two Barn finds Ive bought in the last couple of weeks. I got the 35 Sedan Delivery home yesterday and unloaded it this morning. Parked it beside the 34 Pickup I got a couple of weeks ago. Also picked up a Old school barn find 55 GMC pickup with a 65 Corvette 327 thats been sitting since 1980 or so. Both the 34 and 35 have been sitting since the 50s. The sheet metal on the sedan delivery is just incredable for 85 years old and the wood is also pretty good for its age. Not sure yet what I will do with them as I have also agreeded to purchase a 41 Chevy two door with 13,000 actual miles that looks like new!
Iam a Ford guy also, I always look for Fords pre 55. except 57 fords. Love those! The last 3 I bought were Gms. About 6 weeks ago I bought a Old School Barn Find 55 GMC pickup that was put in the barn 40 years ago. It has a 327 out of a 65 Corvette. The Guy who was in his 60s had since he was 16. His mom had given him $400.00 for graduation fot the paint job.
Glad they are out to see daylight...Just the way Old Chevys are best to be found, dry, solid and covered...man the dry state stuff is always a treat to see...Thanks for sharing them...bet that delivery is a rare bird...
Also had this 46 Ford sedan Delivery a while back. I had all NOS fenders and side stainless. Got cancer and thought I was going to taking the Dirt Nap and sold it. Damm, Wouldnt You know it I'am still here! Sold several at the same time. 17,000 mile 49 shoebox, 50 Ford 1/2 ton, (beautiful truck) 50 chevy barn find (beautiful original) 29 Model a Phaeton (all original).
Thoughts your way on NO Dirtnaps!!!...good on you for getting these gems out in the open air...great projects for sure...now lets see....which one are you going to keep?...
