New project. 1949 Champion Convertible.

[rockinhawk]

50 years ago I was 16 years old. My Dad gave me a 48 Champion Convertible. I drove it for a couple of years and sold it.One of my biggest regrets.
Yesterday I bought myself a 49. I see long project ahead. 1/2 a century beween the two cars.

Good luck with your "new" project.

That's cool Neil! But we need more pictures.

Just remember, you have grandsons to help you get this car done......

Looks like a clean 49. Even cleaner when you think convert. Should be a easy, fast project.

I know one grandson that can polish that Stainless.

Good for you! That's a nice looking car. It'll look even better with that big cowboy hat sticking out of the top of it!

Yes,and he was there when I picked up the car.He took the gravel guards home with him.He is also the one who took the picture.I forgot to bring my camera.

It takes a LOT of talent to wear a cowboy hat in a convertible.

Neil, looks like you're never going to stop accumulating those projects. Sounds familiar to me. Good luck, have fun getting it done. Bill

Chin strap?

I remember when we'd take the '71 Eldorado convertible out when I was a kid. Never once lost the hat!

George and I dug out a really nice set of trunk hinges for you today.. I'll keep an eye out for any other parts. I'm excited about this one.

Josh and I started some teardown. Gonna need full floor pan and both front fenders.But already had 1 parts car,and have located another 48.

Do you think mine will ever look like Billy Shosho's?
