I don't see this one ever getting back on the road, might be a few trim pieces that are still usable....

Much better car than the two 53's in the lemon grove a while back, now them were toast.

[clonelark]

That was such a beautiful car once.

Lots of good parts there. I could use the water pump manifold. Someone living near, could offer scrap price plus a couple of bucks, haul it home and provide parts to put others on the road. At this point, it will take someone with dedication, energy, and time...not so much money.

At least it has been stored somewhat above the ground. It must have been a real looker! I think the President Coupes are fairly rare.

I think it will polish up.....

Taking offers

is high on the list of my most disliked phrases. First, craigslist is not an auction site. Second, in my experience, 99 times out of 100, this "guess how much I want and I'll tell you if you are right" also connotes unrealistically high expectations. Just put the asking price in there and save everyone a lot of grief.

Its condition reminds me of '57 Plymouth they buried in Tulsa for 50 years....

It's another Presidential! Buy the car, and the seller will throw in a tree stump for free.

My favorite is when they say "make me an offer" and "no low ballers" in the same paragraph. Saw that one while looking for a car for my Mom.

It may not be as bad as it looks, when they sit under a tree like that they'll get filthy but the car underneath might be savable. It doesn't look like there's any rust in the fenders, might be worth closer inspection.

In this area, there is lot's of rain, lot's of moss, mildew, green slime, etc. Something that sits out like that can look horrible, but actually be in half decent shape under the ick. I'd not write it off as junk without a look...
