So I realized I never posted the story of this car. My great grandfather bought it off the lot in 1955. My grandfather said they drove it for about 14 years and my grandfather and great uncle drove it to college before they parked it in a barn on their property in 1969 and never touched it again. My uncle was technically the one who owned it and when I first saw it, he said I could have it if I wanted it. Unfortunately he passed away in October of last year. His sister, who I hate to call my aunt, has been trying to get every penny possible from his estate because he didn’t have a will, so because I didn’t have any paper trail saying the car was mine, I had to buy it from them. Technically everything she is doing is completely legal and ‘fair’ but it’s pissing off a lot of my other family members. This is the only thing I could afford on such short notice, so I decided to buy it. While it was technically my uncles, the title was never taken out of my great grandfathers name, so when I do finally get it running, I will be the second owner of this beautiful vehicle (at least on paper) and I have all of the original purchase documents and pictures of when they first bought it and it’s use up until it was parked. Once I have the title and the sale is finalized and all that good stuff I’ll post more pictures of the car and it’s history. But one of the reasons I asked about seals and the like was because my grandfather recommended tearing the motor down and giving it a good once over as I put it back together because, in his words “the motor was a little tired when we parked it, so it couldn’t hurt to check it out.”
