Default 1937 Ford Fordor Survivor

I recently purchased this 1937 Ford DeLuxe Fordor. The car appears to have been purchased from Wright Motors (Ford-Lincoln), Evanston, Illinois. The car was apparently traded in and was purchased by the second owner in December 1939. The car was driven until 1959 when it was put into storage. The car was purchased by the third owner in April of 1990, who drove it briefly around his company yard. The car was put in storage again until late 2010. The third owner's family got the car prepared for sale and it went on the market.

The seller almost completed a deal but discovered that the buyer was planning on customizing the car and selling off the original pieces. He pulled the plug on the sale. He sold it to me confident that the car would remain unmolested and appreciated as the survivor that it is.

I am totally happy with the car. My friend is letting me store the car at his boat garage for now at no cost. I hope to get it running this summer. I'm sure I'll be asking questions.
