Re: IML: 1959 On EBAY

Pictures and black paint cover up a lot of problems. As usual, but 
especially in this case, I recommend a personal visit before placing a 
bid on this car.

I agree Rob. The car looks ridiculous without the front bumperettes and 
the Kmart parking lites but it appears to be a pretty solid car. I'd 
rather start with something like this than a pile of rust missing all 
the trim parts and a busted motor.

Wow, you guys are being pretty harsh on this poor car. If it's not 
rotted 
out, there's still plenty of potential in that car. Maybe not for a 
100% 
correct restoration, but a nice cruiser or tasteful custom sure. Right 
now 
it doesn't even work as a tacky custom. 
 
The front bumper appears to have had its protrusions replaced with 
polished 
stainless steel. And trailer running lights added below. That could be 
remedied easy enough. I'm not sure what the looped wire hanging out of 
the 
front is for. 
 
OK, I just went back and took a closer look at the pictures. That car 
needs 
some loving, or to be put out of its misery.

It sure seems to be missing a lot especialy in the brightwork they must 
have saved a fortune in chrome tell me if Im wrong but the front bumper 
looks all wrong it looks more like a grayhound buss than an imperial 
they should send it to cuba.

Ya now, this time I think the 59 Cadillac won. Referrence to his 
comments. 
Since I work on these cars, I would have to pass if the new owner 
called and 
asked if I could redo this one.

somehow this car is one that you would not mind seeing go to the 
demolition 
derby.

Sometimes it's not a good idea to use a Miami restoration shop for the 
blind.
