PATIENTLY WAITING

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOVE FOR ’56 CHRYSLERS SO A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND THIS THREE-TONED BEAUTY. THE CAR WAS PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY A SALESMAN AT UNDERWOOD DODGE. AFTER TALKING TO HIM ABOUT THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND FINDING OUT ABOUT THE SPECIAL FEATURES, I REALIZED THIS WAS A “DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH.” 

SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE FOUR-WAY ADJUSTABLE SEATS, POWER WINDOWS, 354 CU.IN. HEMI – 280 HP ENGINE, AND ELECTRO-TOUCH RADIO WITH FOOT CONTROL TUNING. THE MOST UNIQUE FEATURE IS THE FACTORY INSTALLED HI-WAY HI-FI PHONOGRAPH.  IT TOOK SOME SOUL SEARCHING ON THE OWNER’S PART, BUT HE FINALLY AGREED TO SELL THE CAR TO ME BECAUSE HE KNEW MY INTENTIONS WERE TO SOMEDAY RESTORE IT TO IT’S ORIGINAL BEAUTIFUL CONDITION. 

HOWEVER, AS WITH MOST OF US CAR LOVERS, I HAVE TOO MANY “IRONS IN THE FIRE” AND MY ’56 BEAUTY IS PATIENTLY AWAITING IT’S TURN. SOMEDAY I WILL COMPLETE THE RESTORATION AND IT WILL BE EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN WHEN I BROUGHT IT HOME, AS SEEN IN THE ABOVE PICTURE.
