42s are rare because of the production stoppage to support the war effort. The car was probably an old military vehicle. Post some pictures when you can. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)

That's in great shape! What are you going to need to get it running? Tune-up stuff should be pretty easy, and fluids are normal. Brake stuff may take a bit longer, but fairly easy to find. Check the links I posted. Find out how long it's been sitting; you want to wake it up without causing any damage. If you have to drop the gas tank to clean it, it's better than filling it first. You also don't want to loosen up all the junk in the lines just to push it into the carb. There is a water distribution tube that goes inside the block's coolant passages. Better to check it before you get it hot. It would probably be a good idea to prelube it and rotate it by hand with fresh oil before just hitting the starter. Another issue with the older cars mentioned on the P-15 site is wiring. There is only one fuse for the whole car (headlight circuit). Better to inspect all the wiring before installing that new 6V battery. This is also a 6 volt positive ground vehicle, so don't go jumping it with a 12V negative ground car, unless you follow the instructions very carefully. Good luck waking the slumbering Mopar! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

Man, that is one sweet looking ride! I'm not real into 4 doors, buy I could go for that one. Being a hot rodder, I would have to update that to disc brakes with an updated master, a more modern rear axle, and add a bit more power to the flathead 6. I'd keep the original parts, for who ever might own it after me, but I want good brakes and a bit more power. Add in some radial tires and cruise that thing for ever. (well, OK for 4 or 5 years until I got tired of it. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif) ) Gene

Thanks for all the links. Much appreciated. He said the brakes were grabbing. And that I should replace the cylinders. I did put the drums back on today. Filled the tires with air and put her back on the ground for the first time in eight years yay. Hopefully tomorrow I will be getting aaa to tow her home. Then I can start documenting and clean her up. I'll post pics of eeverything for those who care. You should see the engine bay. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
