Big old '48 Crown Imperial

Ahhh thanks Steve I didn't catch that.
Ok then I should add that for $15k he should at least wash it AND Put the window cranks back on, oh and put some Behold on that dash, wood or plastic. There how's that.
If he wants a pretty penny, I think an hour's worth of cleaning would be a good investment.

But then it wouldn't have original barn dust on it anymore

The owner lost interest in it many years ago and judging by how the car is presented for sale, I'd say the asking price would be quite negotiable. These C40s are recognized as Full Classics by the Classic Car Club of America, a bit dissapointing to see this particular one languishing in a shed for all those years.

Sometimes you can't win in that kind of situation.
People will accuse you of dragging out an old car, cleaning it up, and then selling a polished turd.

FWIW, I think those dashboards are painted metal.

Chrysler enginged Facel Vegas were about the last ones with this Kind of artwork. Then came plastic, while I have to admit, some American cars had plastic Wood Panels that looked better to my uneducated eye than genuine Wood.
