Re: IML: 1959 On EBAY

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.
