          It aint cheap but

          There is President Classic for sale in Litchfield Michigan. 10,900 but owner will take less. Owner sent me at least 50 pictures that I directed him to take as he walked around the car with cell phone and camera. Less than 35,000 mile survivor. Great interior, no body or structural rot, Very clean body. Could use a paint job but very presentable. Pot metal tail lights and headllamp rims need replaced for showtime. He has new tail light assemblies Nice car but I passed as it does not have power steering. Owner is not a car guy and inhereted car from his fathers estate in 95. Has been in the family and stored properly since 1977. Basically a turn key cruise night driver. I'd rate it a strong 2 1/2 car. If any bidy needs contact info shoot me a PM. cheers jimmijim

            This was a great episode for our club. Frank (the guy with the big money and big mouth) claimed that you can't find parts for these cars and you could spend your whole life looking for the parts. We all know that to be a myth but the show told the world. The guy that bought the car knew the right thing to do when he contacted someone in the SDC who hooked him up with all the parts he needed an at an affordable price.

            As it turned out, the Stude showed the most profit and Frank missed out on a great opportunity because he didn't know as much as he thought he knew.

            Great episode.

                  Nice, but fake wood grained dash in a '56 President? I don't think so!

                    May be wrong but I seem to spot that the woodgrain was gone by the end of the show..
