Hello,
My name is Travis and I'm glad to be here. I look forward to learning some things and sharing what little I can help with.

Below is my new '51 Blue Coupe. I had a 1950 Custom Business Coupe 25 years ago and it sure feels good to have another Coupe. It's almost like coming home.

It's a 1951 Custom Deluxe Club Coupe. It has had one respray that's a close match to the original Alpine Blue.

It has the most original interior I have ever seen.

I'm going to get some gray wool to match the seat sides to cover the seat bottom. I'm going to run the original seat back as long as I can. If and when it wears through, I'll simply cover over it with gray wool as well.
The dots on the upholstery are little stars and they match the door panels. Apparently that stuff is not reproduced. Once it's gone, it's gone. I'm going to preserve it as long as possible.

It's been an adventure so far. I'm pleased with it. There has been some challenges with it correcting some shoddy work. All in all I'm very happy with it.
