[Gary purchased his Mayfair ("Finnegan") in November of 2021. It's been delightful to follow his experience on Facebook in improving the car, and much of it has been lifted to appear here in "Before and After" pix. You can find more details of his activity in the "Garage -> Rebuilds" section of the Forum. First, some "Before" pix! -Dan]

All I know about the car is it spent it's formative years in Vancouver, before being put out to pasture in Saskatchewan where I found it. It does sorta run and drive, but the rt. fr. brakes are on the steel and the wipers etc. are so so, I decided it wasn't worth the gamble to drive it the 2 hr's to my place. Power nothing, push button auto, 313 poly V7 (it seems at the moment.)

[The roof came up nicely after polishing, and the hood and trunk were sanded, primed and painted - as well as other parts of the car, after metalwork was complete (see "Rebuild"). Some kool "After" pix! -Dan]
