Car was like that when I bought it - seats were grubby and grimy but the blokes cleaned them and they came out great.
Buying, shipping and restoring the body terribly costly but when I sit in it I'm 14 again so hard to put a value on that. Frame was really good surprisingly - packed with rural Manitoba gravel and dirt. Once sandblasted, found about 1/2 of the floor supports / braces (forget what you call them) rotted out as well as 2 areas of floor, 1 in trunk severely rusted but very localized. Talented guys took care of it with all new metal - suddenly its 1959! Probably all done by year's end.
Thanks for all you do. Merry Christmas. Tip coming through to CP in the next few days.

See what good things can happen when somebody cares? Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
I'd happily drive that thing. Just put on some leather driving gloves and the hard wheel is suddenly grippy. It also helps with handling the shift lever on the 3-speed.
