I hope to hear from the people. I tryed to call the other day and talked to the old man and he did not remember owning any cars he is in his 90's. The cars belonged to his wifes family. I wrote her a letter telling her that I would like to look at the cars there are around 15 cars from the 30's through 40's. They just parked the cars when done with them. There is a 35 or 36 slantback that looks like a taco shell from a big tree that fell on it.

I love finding cars like that. Then bringing them back,and putting them back on the road. Just started on a 41 barn find. It's a great feeling. Looks to be in pretty good shape. Good luck with it.

If it's a '38 deluxe or '39 standard hood in good shape I might be interested. I need one for my car badly. Let me know the details.

39 Std in what looks like awfully good condition to have been setting outside. Next question is it a 60 or 90?

dont know have not looked under the hood. I took the piscs from the neighbors. Its in prety good shape but there are some rust issues. The lower wuarter on the side you can see is rusted through I dont know about the other. The fenders are prety banged up but very fixable. No wheels and the rearend is laying on the ground half burried. Dont know what the inside looks like. Still a good car.
