Re: Abandoned roadster
I too remember that famous quote,Owner will not sell, is going to restore it "someday"remember a nice 1930 coupe rot away near a fruit stand, sat there for about 30 years until owner died and was finally scrapped, not much left to it by then.

Re: Abandoned roadster
As a side note, the 31 roadster I currently have was most likely a Standard model new, had pins in quarter panel for trunk, and found remnants of Lombard blue in places when stripping it , apparently converted to Deluxe when it was restored.

Re: Abandoned roadster
They are still out there. I found a 1916 Model T that had sat since 1957. Car was on cinder blocks in a nice dry Texas Barn. For years the old man wouldn’t let it go, always the same thing about restoring it. Only a few people even knew about it. Old man eventually passed on as well as most of the folks that knew about the car. His estate also had a very nice 69 T-Bird and 1931 Model A. Basically same story, old man just could let them go.

Re: Abandoned roadster
The college girl is a very sad story, I’m sorry to say.
