‘57 Rag

Cour6396 · Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2018 9:07 am Post subject: ‘57 Rag

I just wanted to share my joy! My son purchased back a car I sold five years ago to help pay for his college tuition. We have been searching for a car, and he asked me “what about your old car?” I found it three weeks later, and we made a deal on it last night. It’s now tucked back away in our garage. Very proud of my son for pursuing a car that I put a lot of time into.

... that Horizon blue rag is stunning- you were very fortunate to have a second chance - is a lifetime keeper.
My brother bought this '52 in 1972 and sold it to me in '92... I sold it back to him in 2011 - what are the chances of getting a second chance, like you - lucky guys...

Great story and great looking car. I am sure I am not the only one that wants to see more photos of it!

That is such an ugly rag. Here, why don't I help you not be made fun of when driving down the street by taking it off your hands? No need to pay me either. I'll PM you my address 😂

Christopher got the car back together. All black an fittings, black Jaycee components, and painted the engine tin back to the Audi Moro blue. Runs really well.

That is just stunning.

My son has been doing some personalizing to his Oval.

He has taken out the monster tach and replaced it with a grille and in dash unit.

He has installed and currently is wiring the vintage Bosch brake light.

I’m am really excited for next year, as he has gotten the “bug” like we all have.

Much prefer the new tach. Very pretty car, well done.

Very nice oval and love the stock look exhaust. Is that an A-1 Sidewinder Pea-shooter?
