Anyone in grand rapids michigan
My cousin found a 28 phaeton posted on hemmings at a place called gr auto gallery. Anyone know anything about them or might want to take a look at the car for me? I'm about 6 hours away and hate to make the trip if the car isn't what it looks like in the photos.

Re: Anyone in grand rapids michigan
unfortunately I am the same distance. I hired someone in Grand Rapids to look at a 28 Chrysler last year. Based on his photos and description I did not buy it. I had to pay the cost to hire him and it was $250 which was money well spent. If you want his name I will supply it but there will be an upfront fee.

Re: Anyone in grand rapids michigan
Thanks for the reply Mark. I tried to PM you but your account is set up not to accept PMs. Im worried that the car is a lot rougher than it appears in the photos. The lower cowl sections look like they may have quite a lot of bondo. Also, one of the doors looks to be a different shade than the rest of the car,. As far as the motor, there looks to have been a water leak towards the front of the motor....maybe just a leaky head gasket and not a cracked block. With all that being said, the price probably reflects the condition. If you ever feel inclined to stop and take a peak at iy and give me a little rundown, I would really appreciate it. Im about 6 hours from there and don't want to make the trip unless its to pick up the car. I did talk to a nice guy at GR Auto Gallery, but would really value a fellow barners opinion.
Thanks again Rob |

Re: Anyone in grand rapids michigan
What Brent said about returning the next morning really makes sense. I always like to inspect a car twice, so I don't overlook something, and also so I don't make an impulse buy and get taken.
Two years ago I went to look at my 1950 Studebaker Champion, that was restored 22 years ago. The first night I was turned off by a rusty leaf spring and cracking old lacquer paint. The next morning I realized all the good the car had and knew I could easily double my money if I ever wanted to sell the car. Sure glad I went back and bought it. |
