What a score - body looks like it has all the hard work done and/or it's a pristine original. Not much to do, really - just start paint prep and assembly!

You are a lucky man .....

Glenn, the photo of it out of the garage and on your trailer speaks volumes. Looks even better then the text photos you sent me. I'll return your call later. I was getting Ainsley ready for day care when you called.

I was going to suggest I meet you half way so I could pick the car up but after having seen better photos I'll just drive to your house to get it .

Great find my friend! I'm as excited as you are.

Seth

Hi Jeff, hope everyone is doing well in your family. That had to be an exciting day for you and Glenn digging that '35 coupe out. Good to hear from you again. You guys did some good work there!

There's nothing like a three window that looks rust free. Nice job

That's the stuff old car dreams are made of. Especially if you are getting tired of major rust repairs. It doesn't appear to have much corrosion at all and that is a true rarity these days.

I went back and looked closer at your pics. That is a car all of us dream of ever finding . Especially a 3 window. Great score.

I love the car too! Great find. How many of these suffered the dirt track stock car death back in the 50's?? My neighbor raced Ford Coupes in this venue when I was a kid---- went thru several MINT 35-36-37 five window Coupes what a shame...............

Congratulations Glenn, a once in a lifetime find! I will be stopping by your place this Wednesday or Thursday afternoon to see this awesome barn find on my way home from Western Maryland.

I'm really hoping we can do some lopsided trade in my favor where I get the car and all the parts that came with it
