Default Nice Barn/Garage Find After 30+ Years in Storage

I received a request today from Frank Miller asking me to post pictures of a recent barn/garage find made by Gary Trinque, son of Louis Trinque. Here is the message from Gary to Frank that came to me with the first picture to be posted:

"Just got this '35 today. Been in storage for over 30 years. Only 29,000 miles. Louis newest addition to collection. My Dad still knew it was a '35 as soon as he saw it, loves them old Fords still"

ps...for those who may not know,...that is Louis Trinque sitting in front of the car on first picture. He was THE well known shock rebuilder before retiring and selling his business to Bill Wzorek

Very cool. I'm surprised that JM hasn't tried to get it away from Gary... LOL

Nice car. But the older I get, 30 years (1985) doesn't seem that long ago!

Hi Everyone, Now that's just how I like 'em.

It looks like a quick wash would reveal very nice paint.

I wonder what spare parts came, other than the wheels/tires?
