I've never been a hot rod guy but do appreciate some and often wonder why I never built one.
Today I had to appraise yet another.
There is a privacy act but the owner was proud and happy to have me share.
His Dad built in the late 1950, it was barn stored in the 70' and 80's to the Canadian Nationals in 96 then stored since 1998, the owner past on, the son now has it.
In my opinion it was to die for !
Lincoln trans and rear, 41 Ford Flatty, SW gauges, etc, etc... not to mention just the right patina ! super dry car-sold new in Canada !
1960 Pontiac Strato Chief Safari 1960 Laurentian Safari 1960 Laurentian 4door(scrapped) 2001 Grand Am Traded on a '96 Suburban 2WD 2002 Hyundai Accent(SOLD) 1968 Grand Parisienne Scrapped and SOLD
I really liked it too-Sometimes its really great to go out to appraise and you get paid !
Anyway I've never had trouble getting 100 customers in a year (even last year working) thats like $12,500 gross, I'm surprised you never started up-a guy just retired his business out your way opening up lotsa potential business.
i love hot rods, i would build one if i had the money and knowhow. I geuss you could just buy one already done but i just wouldent feel right, to me a hot rod is something you have to build yourself.
