Tim’s story here is lifted, in part, from the '59 Forum Chat, and also from email conversations.

@Tim

I’m 20yo, from the Netherlands, and i also have a sports fury. Well… not… It’s a 4 door base model (Savoy) with the 230 and 3 on the tree transmission. As a father & son project, me and my dad will be improving this car to make it actually drivable (4.10 diff gearing, Utah), reliable, and hopefully, somewhat economical since we’re paying close to $8/gallon for gas.

@Tim

I live close enough [to Poortvliet, where the Keijs live], but too far for the Savoy in the state she’s currently in
Crazy how wheelskirts are easier to source than a water pump

@Tim

Last pic is from 2017, when the car was fresh out of Utah and I was 12 and my love for this car had just ignited. It’s all I got for now, but i’ll be snapping alot more once work actually gets done!

Replaced the water pump, sadly that wasn’t enough to get her to run reliably. The radiator’s leaking, and she loses compression when warm. New radiator and valve adjustment soon!
