Still learning imgur to be able to post pics but will

Rescued but complete, assessing what I have, ultimate fate to be determined.

Looks like it is all there so far just 50 years of sitting out.

Looks like a nice old "more door" '40. Has the accessory inner trim rings. I have owned two of them. Perfect car to take friends out to dinner or if you have kids. Everybody has a door when it's time to get out or in.

Missouri Ozarks near Branson. Unfortunately this car sat with no wheel on left rear and trunk bottom and frame rotted away to extent the frame is toast. But it is all there.

Cleaned the rat poop out, inventorying pieces, it's all there. Trim, hub caps, etc.

Water pumps turned, generator turned, transmission shifts, steering gearbox locked up.

Have the plugs out soaking cylinders and will try to rotate the crank.

Initial thought was to make it a yard ornament, but jury is out. Still pretty solid on all fenders hood, doors straight no body damage.

My wife thinks I am crazy and I probably am.
