55 Fargo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Hey all had a visit tonight of the owner of the 47 Chrysler I used to own. I sure am glad my "baby" is in the right hands, and receiving the best of care and attetnion. She has new WW tires and red rims to run around on, this car looks great. Paul the current owner plans to get the chrome and bright work redone, as well the dash and garnish trim will be returned to the Correct appealing "Woodgrain" finish. Paul has a number of beauttiful, well maintained Collector Vehicle, including a very cherry unmolested 1956 Fargo "Time Capsule". Paul did however want a brand new windshield, so it was installed, looks fantastic, and Paul was very generous to give me the old Original windshield for my current project. An to tp off the end of the visit, I met RickD1973, who isa forum member, Rick dropped by to visit with Paul, and brought His 12 YO son, who appears to be getting bit with the Moapr Bug, or perhaps this was always the case. Anyway here are some pics..... 1 Quote
RickD1973 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Hi Fred. Glad we could meet this evening. I attached a pic from the Lions Club East St. Paul show and shine on Sunday with the Chrysler and my Dodge. It was a beautiful day and lots of nostalgic folks stopped to have a look at the cars. We were parked with a 40' LaSalle that attracted alot of attention. I hope the windsheild works out for you and goes in easy. 1 Quote
55 Fargo Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 You sold your car Fred? In march Frankie, I did post it with great reticence and sadness, but the new owner is the right kinda Guy... Quote
RobertKB Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Fred sold the Chrysler several months ago. I think he found it hard to part with but he knows it went to a good home. Sounds like the new owner has plans to make the car even nicer than when Fred had it. However, Fred is the one who saved it from the crusher and breathed new life into it. It would not exist without his dedication to its restoration. Hope the Fargo is progressing well, Fred. It sounds like it is shortly going to get a windshield upgrade. 1 Quote
GlennCraven Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Congratulations on saving that '47 and ushering her into the right hands, Fred. As my late grandmother would've said, ya done good. Thanks for the photos of the car and the Fargo. Very nice vehicles. Enjoy the windshield. Quote
oldodge41 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks for the pictures Fred. I like the Chrysler and would love to have a truck like that. Quote
1940plymouth Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Good to hear from you again. Do you know what the car in the back ground is in the photo you posted with your old Chrysler? Quote
55 Fargo Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 Bobby Drown, how the heck are you? That car is a 47 P15 or D25 4 door sedan, but just a parts car, too far gone, for any fixin up. Hope all is well in your world Bob, doin work on the Fargo, been enjoying a bit of a cooler summer this year.... Quote
