Bruce, another great find.

While we're on the subject, here is a picture of a time capsule that was opened today. I posted this pic in the Rotting Cars thread last year, but today it changed hands.



1932 3 window coupe, with a rumble seat and a sun roof. Parked in this garage in '59, it has not moved since.
More to follow on Monday.

Here's an update on the restoration of the 1968 442 that I bought from the original owner a while ago. Charlie suggested that I drive it back over to the seller and take her for a ride in it when it was completed. Well, she was thrilled with the car (she actually cried), and her grandchildren think that she's the coolest grandma in town!

Bergy, looks great. Nice find.

As an FYI, it looks like your 442 did not originally come with the W36 stripes, as the placement of the "442" on the door was put in a different location. Check the pic below for measurements.




In any event, still a nice car. Always happy to see a '68 442 on here. Hope to have mine done soon.

Thanks for the info - you're correct, my car didn't come with the stripes. I was wondering why the "442" numbers seemed to be in the wrong location on the original factory fender! You've cleared up the mystery. Thanks again. Bergy

It really makes no sense why the factory changed the location. It's not as if the non-stripe "442" is centrally located on the fender. I wouldn't be surprised if some left the factory with the stripe and the non-stripe badge location.

Hope to see your car in person someday. Maybe if I ever bring mine out here from AZ...
