I have had this car for about 7 years now.   Some how or other, other projects went ahead of it.   Now it is time!

The car was stripped to bare metal, then all necessary sheet metal repair work was done. This car had very little rust, which is one of the reasons I bought it.  When I found out that the air worked I had to have it.

'61 is my favorite year. I love the chiseled lines.  Over the years I have had a Series 62 Coupe, a Series 62 Sedan, two Town Sedans and two Fleetwoods. When I got the convertible I made it road worthy by overhauling the suspension, brake lines, complete brake job, fixed a burnt valve, a good detail and new tires and then I drove the heck out of it. What a nice ride!

I intend to change the color to a color I have never had before. The engine ran like a clock and was powerful and quiet but with 140K on it, the front and rear seals leak like a sieve, not to mention the massive amount of sludge inside the engine, but it purred like a kitten! A testament to the way they used to build them... I have a rebuilt engine ready for it bored 30 over that came out of my coupe 12 years ago.  I hope it runs as good as the engine I took out. Well that is where I am at with it - it is ready for paint!
