    Don't know anything about these cars, it was still in the garage of a recently deceased old man, and when I asked about it the new property owner had been told by the son of the old man that it is NOT for sale. Anybody have any experience or knowledge about Gardner?

    OH, the back is painted with an old timey "follow me if you want to save 10c on gasoline, ask me about propane" or something like that. I'm still looking for that pic, but here the pics I have right now...

    If you get lucky enough to get this one, it's probably too rare to rod (sorry guys). Good luck!
     
  3. I agree I'd love to rod it but it does look complete and rare. Could be a money maker, good luck, Rags

    Oh, forgot the best part, the new property owner told us to get rid of all that rusty old car junk, so we hauled off 3 banjo rears with torque tubes, wheels, drums, a complete and spinning 4 banger, 2 trannys, BOXES full of NOS parts like connecting rods and unopened Montgomery Ward piston rings, a fairly complete chassis with front fenders and running boards, radiators and grill shells, hood and sides, and a BUNCH of other stuff. YEAH, all model A junk...
