Black & White 1959 Coronet
Author: RoyalGate (Show all albums)

A few weeks after buying the Blue & White Custom Royal Lancer I remembered seeing this car on ebay and that I had printed and saved the information. It had been over a year earlier but I figured I didn't have anything to lose so I called the owner. He still had the car. It was more than I had planned on paying for a car but I figured It wouldn't hurt to go look at it. It was born and lived in Oklahoma and when I got there both me and a friend of mine crawled all over - under - and around this car and looked it over from bumper to bumper. I could tell the owner thought I was nuts but after the surprise I got with the Blue & White CRL I didn't want that to happen again. This car was as good as the Custom Royal Lancer was BAD. It had been repainted and new seat covers and carpet but there was NO RUSTED OUT PANELS at all. Just a 1/4 inch of Oklahoma clay and dust all over everything. When I got it home I realized that MONSTER MOAR weekend was the every next weekend, so my wife and I washed, waxed, and cleaned on the car all week. We took it to the Monster Mopar car show and won 2nd place in class the very first try. I told the wife, " Looks Like We Got A Keeper". The next year after a little more cleaning I won first place and place second in best of show. Basically all I've done is clean, ploish and touch up paint, but now I'm in the process of having some of the chrome pieces redone. They are all just polished to a dull finish and need to have the chrome put back on.

I had to do some work in the truck. The rubber mat was junk and there were one or two very small pin holes in the floor. I had carpert left over so I made the spare tire cover out of what was left.

When I got the car it had some cheap-o aftermarket antennas that looked like shit. I got these original factory antenna kit from ebay and installed them. Looks a lot better.

I just had both "fin tips" rechromed and the wedges chromed. the chrome on the tips was just polished so much it wouldn't shine any longer and the wedges had been painted white somewhere along the way.
