Friend picked this up East of WPG two weeks ago for scrap value. Saved it from the crusher ...at least for now. Complete but poor storage has weather it.

Yes Chris it's sorta neat. The word wouldn't be rare but certainly an unusual car with some cool styling cues. Love the headlights. Hope someone buys it as a project but the guys willing (or interested) in doing it are far and few between. It seems the guys that had memories of riding in dads/grandpas 39 Chrysler aren't building ground up projects anymore so there's a narrow market. Car was pulled out of a storage trailer the day after our first snow a couple weeks back and the son charged with cleaning up his fathers estate said.."Oh I remember it to be in better shape. It can go"  Storage trailer had a leaking roof otherwise it would have looked a lot better.

Last plate on it reads 1969 metal tag. It would have been a nice car when put away but BAD storage. Still mostly complete and not too rusty.
