Today I met a friend, Jack, to go see a few cars he had stored out in the country that I hadn't previously viewed. While not technically "found" - thought you'd still like a photo update. Jack likes to lurk on message boards. He's known Carl Woerner for a long time and has been a procar enthusiast since childhood.
Stunned me off the bat to walk around a corner and see a '59 Series 75! Non-divider window model. This one belongs to someone else so I'll follow up with possible availability. Pretty typical TX builder. Plus a '61 parts limo has a good windshield down here...
Pretty dry '56 Meteor endloader is in solid restorable shape. Not only is it complete, all the glass is good, and Jack has gathered new items along the way.
Hard to top '50s scripted logos.
'62 Superior Crown combination - and Jack has TWO of them; identical. This is the better of them. Front clip has already been painted. Given the rarity of landau combinations - strange that he has a matched pair. Hope he makes more progress soon.
Then again, he'd like to move out of the US, so who knows..?
Tomorrow I'm hearse hunting in a small town more than an hour out.
Then by Wednesday, I should have pics of procars found in the high desert of NM. I may end up breaking an official record this week. Ha.
