Just picked this one up

Thanks for all of the positive comments.
I have been cleaning the T & C up here and there - it is VERY hot in the shed where I have it.
I will try and post some pics ASAP of my slow progress.

Just a few pics of the T & C in the shed (dark and hard to get good shots)
as I am getting around to cleaning and polishing it. One pic shows a fender NOT done yet to show the contrast of "before and after"
The paint and chrome are 55 years old so I didn't expect too much but it is coming out okay.

 

Looks like it's cleaning up well. Seems solid and straight from the photos.

 

Nice find! I love "survivors" they are only original once. IF it was mine I would clean it all up and get it running and driving maybe buff the paint and leave it that way as a an original car.

 

I am pretty much following that route at this time. The only thing I am thinking about doing is buying the replacement alligator vinyl for the front seat because that is the only bad part of the interior. At least if I decide to redo the front seat in the future I will have the material. You just never know when these type of materials suddenly become "unavailable". Of course I will need a new carpet set, too.
