I am a freak for 57-58 Forwardlook cars and own a 57 Imperial, 2 58 Plymouths, and one 57 Plymouth Conv. The most imprtant thing to look for is rust and previous rust repair. These cars were prone to rustout particularly in the lower sections.....floors, trunk floors, lower quarters, rockers, bottom of doors. Just make sure that you are aware of the rust damage and prepared to deal with it. Look for areas that may have been repaired with a quick fix (body filler). After a thorough inspection, decide if the amount of damage warrants the purchase. To me, mechanical condition is secondary. Body work is the most time consuming and expensive area of any restoration. Go out and get yourself a copy of The Old Cars Price Guide. This will have current values on antique cars based on condition. Hope all of this helps you out! Welcome To GFS. You may also want to join The Forwardlook Mailing list. This list deals with primarilly 57-58 Plymouths. <A HREF="http://websearch.cs.com/cs/results/cssearch-frameset.adp?hit_url=htt p%3a %2f%2fwww%2eforwardlook%2enet&type=I&first=1&dfirst=1&sTerm=Forwardlook&ty pe=I &brand=CSI&tabs=Y&serviceType=CServe&uType=CS2K&dateRange=0&channel=&gfirs t=0" > Forwardlook Website</A> George To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: goldenfin-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Your use of Yahoo!
