I grew up with that car. We kept it until 1953, when it was traded in for a 1953 Pontiac Eight Special Sedan. Here are two photos (sent by direct email to you). It is OK, if you want to use them. I loved both of those cars. The Ruby Maroon did not hold up (it turned Chalky) and we had the car repainted Black, by Kisthardt Auto Body on Chambers St., before WWII ended. The Black held up fine. <br />I later restored a 1941 Chevrolet Special DeLuxe Club Coupe during the 1970s. These were real standout cars, that are very popular with collectors today.rayfromvillaparknoreply@blogger.com
