Expert 5K+ Posts: 9900     Location: Lower Mainland BC | . Lots of very nice Mopars but only four from the 1955 to 1961 era and only one of those was new (to me), a 56 Savoy 2dr post (with 440/727 etc). The other two, besides mine, were big buck restorations of a 58 Desoto FireDome Sportsman (Canadian with 354 poly) and a 58 Windsor (also 354 poly). I didn't actually compete (got there too late to register) but it would have been a waste of money. There is no competing with the multiple award-winning 58 Desoto. Here are some photos. (NOTE: As it happened I parked my 56 Dodge tail-to-tail with a Dodge Neon that is likely painted in the 95 Dodge Neon "Intense Blue" that I chose to paint the darker areas of my car with.) Lots of nice cars that I would have (in a different life)  (MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_56SavoyWith440.jpg) (MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_56DodgeD500_FrontQtr.jpg) (MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_56DodgeD500_RearQtr.jpg) (MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_58CanadianWindsor_FrontQtr.jpg) (MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_58CanadianWindsor_RearQtr.jpg) (MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_58DesotoFireDomeSportsman_FrontQtr.jpg) (MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_58DesotoFireDomeSportsman_RearQtr.jpg) Attachments ----------------  MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_56SavoyWith440.jpg (207KB - 55 downloads) MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_56DodgeD500_FrontQtr.jpg (207KB - 55 downloads) MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_56DodgeD500_RearQtr.jpg (168KB - 55 downloads) MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_58CanadianWindsor_FrontQtr.jpg (186KB - 54 downloads) MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_58CanadianWindsor_RearQtr.jpg (172KB - 55 downloads) MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_58DesotoFireDomeSportsman_FrontQtr.jpg (180KB - 58 downloads) MoparMadnessLangleyBCJuly10_2022_58DesotoFireDomeSportsman_RearQtr.jpg (201KB - 55 downloads) | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9900 Location: Lower Mainland BC | Powerflite - 2022-07-11 5:07 PM Some really nice looking cars there, including yours. The work you put into the paint shows off your car nicely. Thanks for the comments Nathan. My paint is still a 10 or 20 footer. But it is much better than when I bought the car, so WIN. I know that my car can never compete with the $150K+ restorations but still some kind of recognition would be nice, i.e. "BEST IMPROVED BARN FIND by A Cheap Ash"  | ||

Member Posts: 46 Location: Gooding, ID | Your car looks beautiful, and most of our cars are work in progress. Keep it a hobby and do the work yourself, and you'll appreciate the results more so. I've been working on mine for about a year now, and really love seeing the transformation. Most people have no idea what I started with and only see the flaws. I don't care as this is my car, and only I know how much time money and sweat I put into it. It's never about trophies, but the love connection you're making with a survivor car that might not ever have made it back on the road without YOU . Here's where I'm at after replacing the quarter panel, and putting new shoes on Diane, Next up interior work  | ||
