New Scanner / Old car.

[myold88]

I just got a scanner and it's been raining here for 2 days so I dug out some old photos. Here's my first restoration project from 1972-75. It was a barn find (@ $300.00) I restored... Can anyone name the car ?

No idea but I really want to see the finished product.

Here's another old photo:
This is a '55 Plymouth we rolled several times back in Dec of 1959.
I was in high school. We ran a stop sign and was broadsided.
5 of us in the car and we all survived.
Drinking & no seat belts.... some things never change.

Those were the good old days. My total investment for the restoration was just over $1,200.00,
( I was in the business & did the work myself), and I sold the car for over $8,000 in 1975.
Try doing that today....... no way !
