I dragged home a '53 Champion Starliner today that has been stored in the same barn for 13 years. It was partially disassembled prior to that, but the project never went any where. Still wearing what looks like the original Ivory Mist over Coral Red. Rust in floors, but otherwise pretty solid. Came with 4 front fenders, 2 hoods, an extra rear quarter, 2 extra doors, duplicates on other sheet metal. 3 speed OD. Missing the seats, instruments, rear bumper, radiator, and probably some other stuff. Pot metal and stainless trim is all there (except for the grill surrounds and grill bars). A challenging restoration project or basis for a custom/modified. Anybody looking for one of these? I'd rather sell it and deliver it to someone within a 2 day drive of Bellingham, WA, than take it off the trailer.

Awfully tempting, Dick. Looks like it might overheat if you drove it down to my place, though. <G>
Anyway, Tom, I guarantee it won't overheat on the way to your place .
