Another Identify the Car
Bought a bit of land. Came with a free car hidden in the brush.

Whatever it is I'd bet it was spectacular in its day.
The hood ornament could mean it was something high end and the front grill looks unique.

That was quick. Might also be a Windsor. Now to figure if it’s desirable enough that someone might haul it away for free.

Okay, maybe not a royal...but definitely 1941 Chrysler grill. Why doubt me?

Not doubting you. Just doing a quick search. They’re almost identical.

Meant that for LWJ...just don't ask me to identify one of today's rolling jelly beans. I'm a guy who stood puzzled, pushing a fob to unlock Cindy's Camry and couldn't figure out why the lights didn't blink. Duh...I was trying to unlock a Nissan the same color...

That would cool to get it running without touching the body, moss and all. That was done with this old VW bus that was found in the woods.

Any fish in that creek?[/QUOTE]
That’s the mouth of the Kenai river. So yes. Everyone on pelican is invited. Except for maybe three of you. Shame. It was a beauty once. Now maybe someone can turn it into lawn art. Will make a plan next spring.

Somewhere, someone is restoring a Chrysler and needs some of those trim pieces. The ones in the photo seem relatively straight and bright.

Where should I post that? I don’t want to get involved in a long, long distance pick your part situation. But I’d like it if some of the car didn’t go to waste. There’s some remnants f faded green paint. I think this might have been an officers staff car. That’s the only reason a luxury rig like this could have been up here in the 40s. Only reason I can think of anyway.

Hemmings? Maybe document all the brightwork as it is now, pull it all off and sell it as a lot.
