I feel your pain! I spent months redoing mine this year and I haven't been able to show it off.
Just back from the annual Hallowell meet and lunch for all at his estate in Bethayres Pa rain cut down attendance. He has 57 Imperial Limo owned by the Rockafellas. We were going to take the Masterpiece and my Packard Caribbean Hardtop. The Masterpiece let me down on two counts,one an attack of Vatts itus (would start run five seconds and shut down and a slow leaking tire) so it stayed home. When we got home Masterpiece started right up and kept running as it should gotta find a cure this happens too often.
I have felt your pain many times Pete. A guy I used to know once said "with old cars, its an adventure every time you turn the key" In my humble opinion, truer words were never spoken.
Tim I’m glad your son made it back home safe and sound!Pete and Bill:
Last week my oldest son borrowed my 71 Torino convertible to go to a drive in movie. He is of an age he might miss a "weakness" in an old car. Had a great time. I get the car back and the brake light is on. My son never noticed. Turned out there was a leak in the front brake line. No front brakes, on what you would call an interstate. Yikes.
All of us have many such stories, it would make a great book.
Ed, it looks stunning!! Beautiful work.
