A little late to the party, but congratulations Rick on finding and saving such an important car - and knowing what an awesome job you'll do restoring it together makes this thread unmissable!

Cool

WOW!! In Mothballs for over 40 years and you got to dig it out, fantastic. Couldn't happen to a nicer couple. I'm sure the car will be a benchmark.

Thanks Cal. I doubt it will be far enough along by that time to show it but will try. Just wish I could have shown it in the Barn Finds section last November but that was right between the time I went and saw the car the 1at time and then purchased it so I was too late.
