Hey guys it's great to be here just thought I would introduce myself I am a young rodder that wants to learn as much as possible I have built a few cars but I am big into the 50's custom stuff. I have just bought the 1952 Lincoln Capri that Valley Customs built back in the mid 50's. The car is in pretty nice shape but has not been painted since the 1970's some time. This car was built for a woman named Ina Mae Overman and about two monthes ago I actually talked to here over the phone. What a day that was! I would like to try to return the old Lincoln to its former glory. Any help would be great.
Hey from Aurora, IL 40 miles west of Chi-Town!! How in hell did you lay your hands on a Valley custom?? You know I know have to officially hate you!! Welcome, lots of good folks here as well as a joker or two. I'll let you figure out which is which...
I friend had this car he told me about it said it had some history behind it but it wasn't until I laid eyes on it that I had to have it. Bought the car and it came with a bunch of mags that it was in and a few letters from the lady who had it built in 1953 I actually tracked her down she is still alive and very much into the car scene. This car had me sleepless for about a week before I could scratch together the money and get the thing home.
I just got the car out of the garage and took some pics hope you guys like them if anyone has any info on this car please post it here I have about 5 mags that the car was in and a bunch of paper work from Valley Customs but more info would be great also if anyone knows where there are any parts cars for sale I need some interior trim and also an entire dash some jackass in the great 80'S put some*****py digital guage cluster in it. Thanks Jeremy
