Art & Inspiration Interesting inexpensive Craigslist cars

That DeSoto wagon is fantastic, and extremely solid by Wisconsin standards. I bet if that were in this state it'd be sold in a matter of minutes even at double the price.

 

Looks like it needs a windshield. My son tells me the glass is available, but all the current rubber gaskets on the market that fit it are junk. Don't see anything about the not shown tail lights either. If they are not there, between the windshield installed and the taillights, you just doubled your price. My son has a 57 Dodge wagon like it. Pretty cool cars.

 

Last year I replaced the windshield in my Plymouth. I'd had a very sand-blasted one for about 20 years and replaced it with new tinted glass. We used the same rubber as we had 20 years ago and it's been fine. The photo shows the glass still in place even though damaged. Perhaps the rubber could be reused and/or helped along by a experienced installer -- even piecing together similar items.

 

If it was close by, I'd offer to go take a look, but it's 300 miles out.

 

Comes with a parts car

I really don't want or need another project, but how often does a 59 Dodge wagon come up?

 

Sometimes you have to buy stuff just to save it from the scrapheap and be able to pass it onto someone that wants it.

 

Hey RodStRace : Isn't that a '58 Plymouth "Sport Fury" behind the '59 Dodge wagon?

I’ll bet he still wants too much for any of it. Without an auction after his passing it will all be scrapped.

These are neat cars, but you are 100% on your own when it comes to parts...which is probably fine for anyone seriously interested in it.



BYO engine:

 

1952 Willy Aero, take two. A wee bit over my "inexpensive" limit, but, I think the price could be negotiated, and worth it to own an independent. - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1902013190214069

I like the fastback look, and what looks to be a clock in the glovebox door. I'd leave it looking like it is.

One of you has to get this.
A decent looking '26 '27 Model T roadster body.
$2,850
You know you could get it for
$2,500
With a deck lid, even?
Listed only yesterday.
I almost went and got it. I love the lines of a '26 '27 Model T roadster. But I've sat in 'em.
They're small. And I'm trying to build something a little different.
Anyway...







Some extra parts to boot.

That Falcon 2 dr wagon a ways back sure raised my heart rate, but at my age most of them are not feasible except to maybe save and pass on. I might take a stab at resurrecting that Willys with the green top though. Very cool.
