Thanks Guy. A meeting could easily be arranged. I'll be in Paris during Thanksgiving. The car is just outside of Emberson, TX, around 15 miles NE of Paris, about an 80 mile drive from McKinney.
I did a quick wash job and took the photos in the post last weekend, but I live near Dallas and want to do a little better job cleaning and photographing the interior and degreasing the engine compartment before I post it on EBay. ...And Thanksgiving is the next chance I'll have to do it.
You saw the pics. I can send you a larger assortment at a higher resolution if you want. Just let me know where to send them.
In the meantime, maybe you can help me out with the build assessment? You seem to be one of the "go-to" guys on this forum. Is it officially called a "
Dynamic 88 Holiday 4 dr sedan?
(I gather "Holiday" is the hardtop designation) Do you know where I can find a list of the option packages that were available? I want to make sure I list all it's specific attributes. Are any of them particularly hard to find? I'm thinking the factory AC with it's in-dash controls is somewhat rare for 1960? How common is the AT or the
convenience lights? ...Is the hardtop much more valuable than the post? Too bad it doesn't the electric windows!
...I just want this old girl to get the respect she deserves, and my uncle the credit for keeping her running, covered, and garaged for 18 years and only adding 661 miles to the odometer!
Too bad my uncle's mother, a
little old lady from East Texas, didn't go for the Super 88! ...But I guess if she was just driving it to church on Sundays...
Anyway, any help you or anyone else can give me on these issues would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure what the forum rules are about giving out personal contact info, but if anyone would like to see the full set of higher res photos, my e-mail is
jkellymaddox@aol.com. Here's a few more pics.
Thanks again,
Kelly
