New Canuck

[Tburger]

Hi everyone. I am a new member from Southern Ontario Canada. I joined the forum because I am looking for info to assist me with some projects the need to be finished. My Father In-law recently passed away after a year long battle with cancer. He was an avid car collector and restorer. He bought and sold more classic cars over the years than I can count. His pride and joy was a restored 35 Dodge pick up. The car that he was restoring when his illness took him out of the shop was a 59 New Yorker Station wagon. He completed painting and restoring most of the trim but the interior is completely gutted. The other Chrysler Products in his collection are an original 33 Dodge Sedan that is very solid but needs restoration, a pretty much rust free 66 Monaco 500 from California and a 75 Imperial that is in pretty good condition for a Canadian car that was driven year round. I have added a few photos but will add more when I start working on them.
I look forward to any input from forum members as I progress.

Welcome! Love the fat whitewalls.

The Monaco is exactly the way he bought it except for the whitewalls. The first thing he did with most of his cars was put W.W. on them.

Is there a tire shop in tobacco land that can get those fat whites or is there a stash?

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! Love the collection and look forward to seeing more of it. Sorry to hear about the passing of your father in law and I hope that you have some more help in taking care of his collection.

Welcome aboard from a fellow Canuk in Grimsby Ontario. Very nice collection! What are your plans for it?

 

[Tburger]

Just talked to my Mother In-law about it last night. Going to bring it into the shop and gather all of the parts to evaluate the situation. If the right person wants it, she might sell it as is. Otherwise, I will spend the winter months trying to get it closer to completion.

Let us know if there's anything we can help out with.
