Old, weathered paint.......

Super cool Dodge

 

47 dodge businessman coupe. It was a one owner doctors car, last registered in 61, 7100 original miles. Sense I've had it it had a whole new modern drive train put in as it's going to be a daily driven car. The flathead 6 isn't practical in 2016s traffic. It will be turned into a late 40s early 50s custom.

 

Just sold the 64 with weathered paint and brought home the 55.

 

Keeping it all original here on dad's 52 Merc. It took over 40 years sitting in the woods to acquire that finish. Plus hours of work with steel wool, diesel fuel, rubbing compound and finally turtle wax. Right down to bare metal in a few spots on the roof. Even deeper on the rocker panels.

Chevy and a couple of Fords

 

Old paint preserved looks good as far as I am concerned.

I wish I never let it get like this

 

Looks like bad paint prep on A

 

I can't remember if I've posted this pic before or not. I'm getting old. Anyway here's my little 31 after working on it some getting ready for a show.

 

Some HAMBERS will recognise the silver / blue Olds convertible. Well that other one is now down under and residing a few hours from me. You wouldn't recognise it now.

 

Fresh out of the barn Old Paint.

Cleaned up a bit

And my old A painted in the 50s. Very poorly done, it's great.

 

Just curious.... what was the diesel for?
