 Is this a car that should be saved?


It looks pretty good in this shot.



This is a '47 Dodge coupe, selling for 1,800 dollars, right here is San Jose. It has a clean title

The first photo in the CL listing displays a pretty good looking '47 Dodge coupe that appears to be very complete and intact. The body looks straight with a shiny finish. There is no collision damage, and only a few minor dents and dings.

 Saying goodbye to another car.


1997 Supercharged Riviera.

My life with the Riviera is coming to an end.

I have decided that I will be putting the Riviera up for sale. It's not that it's a bad car, and it actually has a lot of good things going for it. 

It's got low mileage, and it's in pretty good shape. The interior is in great shape and the original paint is also very shiny.

It all comes down to simplification and space. Two things that I really need.

 Doing something nice for my truck.


The cover fits quite well.

Parking under trees is a double edged sword. On one hand, the trees provide shade, keeping the car cooler as well as protecting it from UV rays which damage the finish and interior. On the other hand, debris like leaves and twigs and more likely, bird droppings are routinely deposited onto your paint.

 Going to see an 80 year old car.


It even looks a bit sad. The yard was asking over 3,000 bucks
for that truck, and it was ROUGH!

In a twenty year old modern Classic. 

Sacramento isn't that close, but I'm glad that I drove up there to check out the car.

Prison break! I freed my two cars from their unfortunate detention.

Today, I shored up, braced, and reinforced the garage door hinge.

 Maybe I'd like something along these lines?


A handsome Post War car, and best of all, it's a coupe.


This is a '48 Plymouth Deluxe coupe.

The seller said that he paid 9,000 dollars for it a year and a half ago. Now he is trying to sell it for 4,500.00

It ran then, now it needs a radiator and a few other parts.

 They were worth the trip!


These are some good looking OEM wheels.

I know, I once said that I wouldn't try to dress up my truck. That it was fine the way that it was.
