Pacific NW procar tour

Another day and another property. This one probably took the most effort to see. According to proprietor, someone from Norway visited in '89 and "ruined it for everyone". Not sure exactly what went down but owner has allowed very very few visitors since!

Parts here are not cheap but there are HTF components for those in need. Cold & rainy couldn't stop visit. I had traveled too far to pass. Situation trumps conditions - even if I was soaked up to thighs for flight back. Ended up buying several parts that I'm quite happy with.

'65 Superior Crown Sovereign Landaulet endloader. Note Royale rear loading door window size and Superior's one piece rear bumper top. Because of being a fairly straight and cancer free Crown this deserves pulled out and saved for sure.

'65 S&S Victoria endloader with an extend table. Such a straight rust free coach. Hope someone buys this to build as well.

'68 Superior Landaulet Sovereign. Somehow completely neglected looking inside this coach. Whoops. With suicide doors that lack locks this appears to be a 3-way.

Hey now check this regal black rig out

Not black originally but damn does '68 Superior Rescuer look good dark.

1379567_10151885438473221_1306967914_n.jpg


Needs a few items - fenders, skirts, windshield, one jump seat, and a partition cabinet but what a solid builder. Rest of removed parts were in rear compartment.

Annnnnd 99% chance this will head to a burgeoning VA ambulance collection...

'56 Superior limo style combination.

1374849_10151885439163221_837810463_n.jpg


This one has rust and is best suited to a parts coach unfortunately.

1384000_10151885439313221_851434508_n.jpg


Needs replating but here's one good '56 CC bumper end.

1382173_10151885439343221_1218592387_n.jpg


Accurate representation of original dark green color. Has a matching interior. Neat odd color combination to see.

'65 S&S Park Row. Don't recall now if endloader or combination.

Check out sheen from rain. Cherry hood & fender. Note power antenna. Yes, '65 has a factory radio. (3-4 of coaches here did.)

Again, neglected writing down this limo's year.

'69 Superior Sovereign Landaulet endloader was latest running coach on property. It had sold before being purchased back several years later, at which point it was relegated to a 'yard truck'.

Funny what some people do but we'll all seen worse.

Last coach on property was a '66 Superior Tiara limo style combination.

558562_10151885683658221_59332602_n.jpg


Far from pretty but not nearly as rough as she looks. Even the rear bumper was solid (although passenger blade chrome wore unevenly, must've been a different batch of chrome). I don't come across many restorable Tiara - this one qualifies.

En route to airport spotted a property with several convertibles. Doubled back once again. Last person met proved to be most standoffish (more so to company with me, not myself). Turns out he goes after "money cars", ie '32-'34 Fords, '49-'51 Mercury coupes, and '50s convertibles. No procars, not many Cadillac but he did have a pair of Series 62s convertibles - a '58 and a '55.

1233469_10151885683418221_1477976880_n.jpg


He had dozens of convertibles among 300 total cars.
 
Managed to mix in normal touristy fun on vacation as well. Have to maintain a small portion of balance, right?

Multnomah Falls.

Voodoo Doughnut. *Highly* recommended. Worth the perpetual lines, even being open 24/7.

1374151_10151886484778221_686658164_n.jpg


Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum impressed. Much better than my low expectation. Variety and conditions of a few hundred vintage birds and vehicles were cool enough but I'm a sucker for early American motorcycles - of which they had plenty.

How'd you like a ride on this Piper's gurney..?

Took opportunity to swim in Puget Sound. Of course I was only one in water. Wonder why? Didn't see any Killer Whales around.

1375707_10151883559768221_1337495105_n.jpg


Hundreds of crabs everywhere.

Pirates are so commonplace there that even kittens say MEarrrrrr!

Color code is 26 - York Blue
 
Yep. And I also know hours required to download, resize, and watermark 3.5% of images taken for posting here outweighed the bs current 20 minute editing allotment when a typo is found. Please forgive for meagerly attempting to better this site with pertinent picture posts. ;)

Wouldn't have guessed York Blue. My only samples are much darker. Thanks.

There was also an early '50s Henney Junior on this property. Failed to locate it before sun went down.

He's had a real problem with folks sneaking onto his property and stealing items so he's cautious in letting folks even know his location...an escort is always required.

The friend that got me in was there again over the weekend buying cars. Property owner had most profitable day ever, having sold five Ford (3 '32 & 2 '33) coupes & roadsters(!) in a package deal. After a dozen trips to property, my friend finally spotted the Henney. We had been told that it was the smaller model and in rough shape...

Not a Junior and not rough by my definition! Disappointed now that I hadn't inspected in person. Appears to be a 3-way and Brady concurs.

Will touch base with property owner this week and see if he has a price in mind yet. Friend that took pics relayed that it is hemmed in mainly by box trucks on a remote portion of property and that owner hadn't even looked at Henney in probably 30 years. Sheesh.

'57 & '68 have not shipped yet. There may be room on cross country load for an interested party if it comes down to that.
