    I have a all original, one owner, garage kept, excellent condition true "barn find" it was my grandfathers car and he bought it new. Have the original title and all the paper work. Of course it has huge sentimental value to me, but do I have something really unique considering all that I mentioned above. I will post a couple of pics when I get a chance. Just not sure what to do or route to go with car. Any advise would be appreciated.

    Go stock and lower it a smidge for some attitude. '42s are not as common as 47s 48s since they only made so many before they stopped production in February '42

    Keep your speed down. Those dipper engines will run all day at 55 to 60, but don’t live long at today’s highway speeds. Looks really nice, make sure the brakes are tip top, as the road is covered up with idiots. Have fu with the old shaker.

  9. Make it run and drive. If it has sentimental value at some point you may regret cutting it up.

    Thanks guys for the suggestions!!! I hate to cut on this car. Think I like the idea of lowering it a bit and driving like it is.
