I wonder if you can fill the gas pump with beer?

I have a working traffic light in the basement and that is about as far as I can go. As much as I like that couch, it makes a room look pretty tacky.

Listing error - it's a '57 not a '58 so possibly the guy doesn't know what he has. Gives bargaining power maybe?????

Yeah, tell him they built a lot more 57s than they did 58s, so they are not as rare, so they are not worth as much.

Nope. I already corrected him on the year and he updated things.

I'm in contact with him :D. I'll be up his way first weekend of July for GoodGuys. I have a 57 desoto that should be finished around start of year. This will go perfect in the display area!

Now you're thinking, put that thing to good use!

I have a working traffic light in the basement and that is about as far as I can go. As much as I like that couch, it makes a room look pretty tacky.


Embrace the tackyness Mike! At least the couch has a purpose. Not the same could be said for the traffic light.... unless you have it wired to give you morse code messages or something.

I'm fine with that as I'm more comfortable knowing it's not from an actual car, minus the bezels.

When my traffic light turns red, I stop drinking beer from the gas pump!
I saw that about the fiberglass. I wonder if just the bumper is fiberglass?
Why would they put the trunk drip channel in a fiberglass mold?

The bumper is steel. Its 79" wide and 36" deep.

Mike, I was on the phone with Pastor James all set to buy it yesterday. Was lining up shipping and then he called me and told me that he had not seen your email saying you'd take it. He doesn't check email often so was delayed in seeing what you sent him. He was a little perplexed what to do since no money had passed hands yet. I told him you were first in line since you said you wanted it. Told him if you fell through my money would be on the way.

I don't think this couch is tacky AT ALL. Will be a great piece wherever it goes.

Have fun with it.

Doug

Nice of you Doug, that's how things should be done. I too wonder about the drip/gasket channel, why do that in fiberglass? Maybe they used a metal one as a mold?

I suspect that it is all original steel, but that the parts fabricated for the actual couch (back and bottom) are the fiberglass part of it that he was referring to.

Once again no one took the time to post a picture before the ad was taken down. Some of us would like to see what the rest of you are talking about. In the future, if you are going to post a Craigslist ad PLEASE post a picture for future reference. Thanks.......carry on.

Bumper and tail light bezels are real. Has speakers in the side panels. I have a few pictures he emailed me mostly of the bottom. I had him take some specific pictures so I knew he was a real person with a real sofa for sale.

I talked to the seller a bit ago, just trying to arrange logistics as I'll be up his way for goodguys in a few weeks, but might run up and just grab it.

Ok, I want the moderators to give this thread a gold star.

Check me on this, but I do believe we just had a civilized thread about a car couch. In not-so-golden days of yore, a car couch thread usually ended with f-bombs, hurt feelings, and five or six members resigning in disgust. My how times have changed.
