WOW!
give him a light clean & WD and oil every moving part before you try and open them , quarter window , doors , cables levers , door handle , grease suspension, hand brake cables etc. then give ALL mechanic a good look at . Most important thing don't start pulling him apart.
leave those funky tail light as is .😊

car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲

The doors are right if it's a late '55. The doors are not easily swapped between early and late cars as the lock mechanism does not line up, although I have seen it done

What about the B-pillar - is it smooth like later cars or does it have 2 indents?
Congrats on a fantastic find!
that is such a cool score. any chance of some more pictures?
what are all the gauges?
That's the sort of find dreams are made from!
What a cool car and great find, when is it my turn?
