    That 58 Caddy conv could be a high dollar car if restored.

  2. It would take high dollars to restore it, maybe more than what it’d be worth.

    I believe, after spending some time with him that all is for sale. He does not have a computer or internet access. He mentioned several vehicles he sold this year to people who just stopped by and asked. He is not a restoration or hoarder kind of guy. I asked where he located all this stuff as you don't see this in the NW. He told me he has done a lot of traveling over the years in order to build up the collection. So if you drop by and say you want to buy a particular car or cars, they are for sale. That is what I understood after speaking with him.

    Damn... I think that 56 Buick wagon is one that I had several years ago I sold it to a guy in Longview WA that old man must of ended up with it.... I can't remember his name but he had a wrecking yard in Longview off of Ocean Beach on 36ave. Mt. Solo the place on the freeway is is home he has cars all over I didn't think he was still alive not a bad old guy to deal with but he is on the high end on his Price's but then again he has it and you don't and his stuff is usually pretty solid I think a lot of it comes from east of the mountains....

    Now that is so out of proportion it would be a riot to drive around the city. Easy to park.
     
  10. Looks well built though.

    That seems like such a waste - as pat59 mentioned it looks well-built but the effort was wasted. If the builder would have applied their time, effort, and skill to something a little more mainstream they would have really had something.

    I kinda like that Lincoln. Maybe add more support to the body and frame and make it a roadster

  18. Wonder if that shortened blue dwarf thing is built on a little Suzuki Jimny 4x4 chassis.

    Suppose both the Corvair and the Lincoln were used for short trips?

    Put me on the list. Don't care much about the Lincoln, but that Corvair would be great for parades and parking lot wheelies.
    Red, White and Blue in huge metal flake... I can almost see it now.

  26. The proportions of the baby Lincoln remind me of a '50 Plymouth business coupe that a guy here used to have. Designed for the traveling salesman, single seat with a huge long trunk you could put several bodies in.

  27. I'll join the Corvair clown list.
     
  28. Here's another one that I spotted rusting away. A 47 Hudson coupe. It's just a little north of Charlotte NC.:) RON... 20180405_183848.jpg
