Don't feel bad - I had a slow response to my query on what fluid to use in convertible top hydraulic systems Finally got a couple of good answers, tho.

probably stating the obvious, thekid1950 has a 1950 C6 coupe for sale posted a couple of pages back.



craigslist has a 49 Sedan in NC that needs a gas tank for under 10K.

Yeah, this query reminded me of that post, too. Looks like the kid sold it on the 15th, though.

These cars would be coming out of the woodwork for sale if you weren't currently looking for one.

You just gotta be patient Russell sometimes it will be like a dryspell where you won't see certain years/models of cars come up for sale for a long time. Then you will think to yourself, "either they're getting more rare or those who have them are not willing to part with them." Then you'll suddenly get a WTN with 5 of them for sale.
Also there's sort of a Murphy's Law thing. When you actively look for something you won't find it. When you stop looking it'll be sitting right there.

I know what you mean. That sort of thing happens to me often. In scouting parts for the convertible, I would often spend an active year or two or even three looking for some obscure part and eventually kind of let it slip onto the back burner. Then out of the blue, someone would call me and say, "Hey, are you still looking for this whirli-gig? I've got three of them sitting around.", or some such comment.

We're still keeping an eye out and have several others scouting for us, as well. Something will come up, I'm sure.

Before he passed Bill Albright sold Mike Cherry a beautiful 49 brougham, it was out of my budget but it was a good older restoration, maybe Mike is interested in selling it, you should contact him

You can check out Mike's car on the current cover of the WTN. It is right below the Red Lion Sign. There is also some comments and photo's inside the WTN you will want to read about Mike and his car. His 49 is one of the best stepdown's that I have driven. A great car that I expect is not for sale--However, give Mike a call, I am sure he would love to hear from anyone......

OOOPs.... I now see he is looking for a 2 door... mine is 4 door.

I'm bumping this back to the top, in case some haven't seen it. We're still looking for a '48-'49 Coupe or Brougham, preferably a C6, but a Super6 would work, as well.

We've been through 16 or 18 leads, but nothing has panned out, as of yet. Any future leads are most welcome.

Not looking for a project car . . .

And another one...

I've got a friend who is looking for a '48-'49 2DR (Coupe or Sedan) Commodore, preferred. He's not looking for a project, but a finished, or nearly finished newer or older restoration or really fine original.

Hi Russ! - I know this is not a '48 ro '49 coupe, but I'd think this would be something to consider.
