The ’46 is a classic example of a 100% stock - unmolested - original car with no modifications.
The ’46 has been sitting most of the last 25 years coming out only for parades. It was not started for 7 or 8 years & was always on a battery tender.
I’ve known about this car for a number or years. A pal’s dad had many old cars in a climate controlled showroom. He was 89 when he passed & the kids have the task of selling his collection. The ‘46 was always in a heated & air conditioned showroom.
The ’46 was redone 25 or 30 years ago. Repainted, replaced or cleaned up all the chrome. The paint still looks great today – stock interior.
The interior is great with only a minor tear on the driver’s seat up high.
Recent mechanicals – May 2014
New battery, drain old gas, clean carburetor, check brakes, check antifreeze, change oil, and clean points & plugs.
The car runs & drives great & is so solid. It’s even better than I remember. I have decided to leave the engine bay alone & not clean & repaint because is add to the originality. The paint shines great.
