In response to old51sedan
My 52 was purchased new by the local old maid school librarian (I know that's not politically correct now) in my small home town in southwest Missouri. She traded it into the local Chevy dealer in 59 and my Granddad bought it. I've been into cars since I was a teenager and always thought that I would get the 52 when Granddad got ready to get rid of it. I went into the Army after college and my cousins (who are almost a generation younger than me) spent lots more time with Granddad than I could and he gave the 52 to them. They let it set in a barn for 15 years or so and out of the blue one day, my aunt calls up and says that her boys weren't interested in doing anything with the car and if I wanted it to come and get it. So I purchased a new pickup and trailer and headed from Georgia to Missouri to pick it up (2005). Took me several years to get the Missouri dirt and road tar off and I finished it in 2008. I did almost all of the work except the paint. Doesn't get driven as much as I would like but I have other toys to play with and it has to wait its turn.
