Hello!!

[Jmendozza58]

Good morning! I thank Ron Keij for inviting me to join

I am now in the process of planning pickup of my all original ‘59 Sport Fury. Needs some work but it’s a running, driving complete car. Black on red. I’m so excited! Its the first time I’ve been buying parts and planning the restoration before the car even got here. Hoping to have her home Saturday.

Joe Mendozza from Long Island, NY. I can’t wait to get it home. Taking the drive early tomorrow. Hopefully on the trailer by noon. I hope to be making good use of this page and everyone here as a cherished resource!

Joe, speaking of cherished resources - you can do no better than Ed Eckerson, from your neck of the woods (Holbrook). You'll find his restoration here in the Showcase. Ed doesn't frequent the Forum much - he prefers email - but I'll be happy to e-introduce you if you like.

Joe sent me this question:

Could this me a factory seat in my '59 Sport Fury? The car has the original drive train, original paint, and the claim is the interior is original.

Hmmm... I'm not so sure. What are your thoughts, Matthew? (I'll contact Matthew separately to make sure he sees this post.)

If I look at the top of the seat I can see one of the snap buttons. I bet this is a cvt rear seat!

All Sport Fury hardtops had the dip in the middle.

Just FYI, the vert rear seat back is hard to find and probably expensive!
