Thanks Roger, I was happy to come across it. I'm thinking if it snows, it might be a subject worth revisiting.
That poor thing looks like it was hidden under blackberry vines and dug out. Growing up, our neighbors had an identical one, a 1946, and before that my dad had a 1948 Dodge coupe. We remember how soft and squishy the seats were. He paid $175 bucks for it. A lot of money in 1961. Original mohair was perfect, but of course, it was only 13 years old then and I was just 9. Wood grain dash, and lots of chrome on the dash. Radio was vertical in the dash and worked just fine. Fluid Drive. Mush.
So many good parts on it
1981 I bought a 1946 Dodge pickup in Chicago, had it towed to Kenosha, total $125, onto my brother's 4 acre backyard. He was restoring the same model. Nobody was home and I wasn't there.
His wife went a bit off, but loved it when the restoration was complete. Next door to their home was an excellent body shop.
A friend now has it, OE engine with highway rear axle, better brakes, stock looking.
He really needed the glass and hood...
