Early '26 touring project
Posted: Sat Aug 26, 2023 11:06 am
Over the past few years, without really trying, I have piled up the major parts of an "early '26" touring car. Frame and body display typical distinctions of the first half of the production year and present are some of the specific parts for a correct restoration, even of a "loss leader" style car. There are several threads on here documenting the running changes and half year only nuances.
If anyone has the urge to build up this very specific, fairly rare model now is a good time to take it over. I have a couple of choices for my next winter project but have not started on one yet and would rather not watch the other sit outside this season. I'd love to see this car fully restored, but that is just not my cup of "T"... If I keep it I will be building it with some period "improvements" and not original, so better jump in soon if you can.
Please feel free to get in touch for more info and pics or with interest, or even just for research/photos of specific details related to the vintage for future resource.
Thanks and have fun! -Chris, in Boulder
