That is a KILLER score , congrats

I would love to own a 1957 thru 1959 letter car some day

Every old car has a story. What is the story of your car? How did you find it, who had the car before you? Where did the original owner buy the car, interesting facts, etc?

I found it on the SoCal Craigslist. As far as I can tell it was sold new in New Mexico, same owner from 1959 (possibly 1957) until 1997 when the next owner bought it and brought it to the San Fernando Valley where it remained until I bought it. The purchaser from 1997 started to restore it, fresh paint and upholstery, but it was put on the back burner, and he eventually got ill and passed away. His estate was sold and I bought it from the purchaser of the estate. It looks like the last time it was registered and plated was 1974 as the plates expired in 1975. It is the most rust free 57 Mopar I’ve ever seen.

It should be here at my place by the beginning of March. I can’t wait to turn some wrenches on it and get it running and driving. It’s going to be a fun Spring and Summer

has it arrived yet ?
