Ok, merci Steve.

Michelin XAS!
Waiting for pictures of interior.

Soon  :-)

I just finished repairing the roof with our club replacement gears.

I thought I had the right ignition parts for the car, as in she used the same as my R1313 and R1323 but I think she has a ducilier distributor  not a Bosch.

So I ordered parts.

The R1326 in US has rear drum brakes that need total repair, I also ordered parts for the rear drums.

The car from what I can tell has very little rust and some mice damage from sitting for 26 years.

Does anyone have a fuse box cover?

Yes she still has the XAS tires and they are still holding air  

They will still need to be replaced.

I really do not want to try to start her until the fuel lines have been all replaced and the gas tank drained and cleaned. basic precautions.

I am wondering if the engine has not seized I was told she does turn, I have not tried yet.

Soon.

OK

I took some pictures

Which oval plate for your new car, Steve?

Lucky number 7

Also as I am checking the car I made a mistake, what I took for rust is dirt.

The car has no rust!!!

The body is in amazing condition.

Working our way to starting her.

verfiied the engine turns.

Waouh !! the number 7.
Must be the oldest one now.

Steve, how did you found this car ?

Holy crap, that is one early car.
The next one in the register is number 814.    

Be very careful with this gem Steve.

WOW!
It suits to your family name..., DIAMOND.

I do feel very lucky!

The car found me 😃

The care taker of the car saw a YouTube video and promised the wife of the original owner he would find the right caretaker for the car.

He emailed me and we were done. The longest part was getting the papers.

I was also very lucky, the car was shipped just days before super cold and snow came to the United States.

Now she is in the garage and I work on her a little each day 😃

Happy New Year my friends!!!

Steve

Non, Claude, c'est juste un élément de protection sur le volant, pour répondre aux normes américaines (comme les PC et la véranda sur les compteurs).
