What do you guys think of this at $69K ? What a deal.

It's a very nice car. Interesting.

Is a dual carb car or 12v a dearborn winner? I don't know.

Southern France? Almost as nice as Hawaii.

Restored Army staff car?

Does Caveat Emptor apply to false advertising?
Buyer should preserve the listing so the judge can read it and laugh him out of court: "You should have known better than to buy a Ford from a Chevy trader."

Nice car, but "ALL ORIGINAL.................."? Who judged this car?

I'm with David, and "Graced the lawn at Pebble Beach" as what, a "Chase" car? That's the advertiser's tail, I'm sitting on mine....Sounds like the owner just finished cleaning his bull stall. And looking at the pictures confirmed it!!!

Gary troxel · 05-21-2019, 05:52 PM

Should it also have the second wiper or did that start later ? Gary Troxel [email protected]

Don Rogers · 05-20-2019, 06:51 AM

I may have to rewrite The 35-36 Book after seeing this car!!!

Charlie ny · 05-20-2019, 07:17 AM

Check out the pin stripe...I'll confess I love it but...what about truth in advertising ?

Here's a partial list of issues:
Pin Stripe
Wheel color
Both rear view mirrors (inside and out)
Head lights Seal beams??
Engine compartment!!!! Wrong engine and speed equipment
Banjo Wheel and color
Floor mat color
Has 36 radio
No locking spare tire cap
RARE..Hardly....87,000 plus made in 35 model year.

I wonder what surprises the under carriage has in store.

Workmanship.....Beautiful!!

And one more to the post total !

I thought you all would get a kick out of this.I asked the seller how he arrived at that price and if he could provide the award documentation .

I sure did get a kick out of it, deuce lover! Thanks.

Judging by the other, er, um, fine vehicles, he's trying to flip, he's outta his league on this (seemingly lightly/typically modified) car. The advert is incredibly inaccurate and reeks of ignorance on multiple levels!

I still think the underside will be a nightmare, all the stuff that makes it drive, ride, steer, stop, and not rattle or leak. Advertising your car as a trailer queen says a lot!

A person can get a daily dose of giggles out of the idiotic listings on that site!

deuce_roadster · 05-20-2019, 08:10 AM

I think the use of the word "steal" instead of "steel" says it all! Is it a nice car, yeah, is it a Dearborn car- hardly, is a tudor sedan rare, no, are cars with 12v systems and speed equipment point judged on the Concourse, not that I have ever seen.
What a misrepresentation.

Pat/Ohio · 05-20-2019, 08:23 AM

Appears to be a very nice car! Perhaps the "Day 2" options were added after the "Dearborn Award?" It would make a great touring car. I can see this car in "Touring or Touring A" class at an Early Ford V-8 Club meet. I would be interested at about half the asking price. Pat

TJ · 05-20-2019, 08:27 AM

Definitely a "sale proof" car. Like many of those on e-Bay lately.

DavidG · 05-20-2019, 11:26 AM

Don,

I would add exterior color to your list, at least shade wise. As noted above, it might pass for something produced in the 1939-45 era without the gloss.

EBAY has become a joke and a way for people to get cheap advertisement.
When you see $ 4000.00 grilles, $3000.00 dashbards, 3000.00 garnish moldings, etc. you know the ride is coming to an end.
