Thanks everyone. I’m showing it today At the 63 Peti Jean car show. It’s judged on a points system and they have Multiple classes. They also have a prewar best of show. That’s the one I would like to win. I will post pictures from the show today later.
Thanks everyone hope you enjoy the pictures

Won first in my class. Plus it made a senior. Meaning it scored over 90 points out of a possible 100.
Everyone seemed to really like the car and lots of people didn’t know that they Exist

Always had a soft spot for the V8s. Glad yours is back in shape. Thanks for the pictures.

In my family archive there is a photo with a similar car. As for the fate of the car, it was sold due to lack of money to pay for the land.
True, I do not quite understand what years exactly that car is in the photo. you can tell, maybe someone knows.

Had a little fun with it today. Took it to a local drag strip for old timers day. Just couldn’t resist running it through. I was easy starting off then run as fast as it would.

I’m almost done with the car. Lots of work new top and seats. Witch caused me too repair extra holes in the body and repaint the green. But by the time the top and seats were done I had less than a week to get done.
