Marquis Brougham interior

 

You certainly would know! Lol. Your interior is stunning!

 

This car should be pulled out, cleaned up and photographed. Looks at that angle the wood is shot, but looks straight, and has deluxe wheelcovers from what you can tell. Liked the 3 spoke wheel.

 

It looks like they removed the woodgrain when they painted it.

 

In Palm Springs. Most probably no rust, but stuff gets sun-baked. Starting bid only $1,000, so it looks like they aren't expecting a windfall......
Find a good independent mechanic in the area, rebuild the trans, get it running, and cruise home. Gas is cheap now, too!

 

Seats look pretty good, door pull looks a bit worn along with panel pucker. Dash may be good under that cover. It’ll be interesting to see where that car goes from here.

 

4 hours left, no bids @$1,000. Pretty unappealing presentation. I would at least have pulled it out of that container and given it a rinse.

 

Exactly. The way the seller composed his ad, there were just too many unanswered questions. If he had cleaned it up a bit and taken some pics out of the garage, he might have got some interest.

 

Noticed it’s back up on EBay. Same dirty pictures, $1,000 opener, which it didn’t get last time. What is that saying about doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result?

 

Saw this last night on EBay 1 bid $1,000 I bet that’s the sellers or a friend there of.

 

It was me poking my pitchfork around down here at the mortals
