canadian Barn Find.......my weekend discovery
We found this 33 Cabriolet last weekend. After a brief negotiation a deal was struck and today it came home. The story was that it was a grandmothers car last on the road in 1955. The family was very concerned about it being rodded so wouldn't sell it to just anyone. Find of a lifetime for me.

Re: canadian Barn Find.......my weekend discovery
This grille was painted red when I got it . It looked worse than yours and as you can see it cleaned up real well . Paint stripper and gentle work with a SOS pad and " wallah " ! Yours may be as good or better with a little elbow grease . NICE FIND and congrats !!!!!

Re: canadian Barn Find.......my weekend discovery
Oh wow! You found a jewell there. The only thing I find in old barns around here is lots of coon crap. Good luck and let us know how that project progresses.

Re: canadian Barn Find.......my weekend discovery
SWEET!!!! Keep it as close to how you found it, but of course make sure the brakes function above all else. Now please don't ever sell it to a rodder!
