It does need some work...! But how often do you see something like this in "our neck of the woods...!" I wonder how much it will eventually go for...? Thanks for posting, Keith...

A lot of folks think they've got gold with these old cars. I recall seeing a '53 Eldorado for sale years ago for $20,000. For that price it was a body and frame with no suspension, floors, or running gear. Some interior was there. Sure it would be a six figure car when restored...but how many people are willing to go that far? Same with this woody, it would be a dynamite car once you put $70,000 and 4 years into it. But the number of enthusiasts with that type of determination and resources are slim. $8500 would have been a good price to get the "bones" of a woody and build it. Some (like me) would say even that was generous. Oh well, looks like he'll have to sit on it.

Yes, it would be one heck of a project...I was thinking the only way this would work is if the buyer also had a "donor" vehicle already on hand for the other half that this "woody" is missing...

Well North of $ 50k if in good shape. Takes a master cabinetmaker to match grains and shape perfect joints. The bodies used a mixture of woods to get the different grain patterns and complimentary colors.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

Hey Bruce, I forgot you have a Fulton Sun-Shield gracing your car, and from your photo, I can't quite tell if the side-supports are one or two piece...? I like how it sits up high...Now that I've blown up the photo it looks like it does...Great picture to observe the positioning...Thanks, Kevin

Kevin your correct the visor brackets are 2 peices
On the tilt of the visor,I respect your opinion,but this is a very old pic and I lowered the visor shortly after it was taken..As you can see in the pic the visor does not follow the contour of the car

Kevin those veiwers don't work for me very well..After a while you just naturally stop way before the light and hope that the signal light sensor detects your car...

I installed a Mark Miller Country Club kit on my '47 Aero just before driving to the Central meet in Sandwich. His work is outstanding, and he's done a number of wood-body restorations. For the Aeros and convertibles, he works from the patterns of an original Engineered Specialties kit he picked up at a swap meet years ago. He delivered my kit in about 4 months. Taking inflation in mind, his kit is just a few bucks more in today's dollars than the original. Doesn't make my Aero anywhere near a $50K car, but I definitely get $50K worth of enjoyment! http://flic.kr/p/cPBgQG

And the color really dosent flow right with the wood color. Do like the seats. Also really didnt get why they wrote Blue flame on the Valve cover ?

Why do they call that a "2 door coupe" that is a 2 door sedan in my thinking..not a COUPE!...Am I missing something here??/ Really Nice car though...Good Looking.....ED
I was only wrong one time in my life so far. But that time I was right, and only thought I was wrong....ED
