Nick,
A couple of years ago, I bought a pretty nice 56 Savoy 4 DR parts car
(with title) off ebay from one of those places near Anaconda, Montana.
The area is commonly called "Crakerville" because of the large number of
Southern miners (my grandfather was one of them) that settled there during
the depression. I spent most of the morning wandering around looking
through acres of pretty cool stuff, 99% non-automotive.
The Savoy had been hit hard in the driver's quarter, but aside from that,
it has a running 277 4BBL Powerflite and is fairly solid. If I could find
the quarter panel sheet metal at a decent price, I would be tempted to
restify it as a Crackerville Police department sqauad car. To see why,
take a look at
