Here is my '51 Coronet Club coupe I bought back in October of last year. My uncle happened to find it alongside his buddy's neighbor's barn and we got it for $300.

As of now it is all stock and doesn't run, I'm planning on a V8/auto swap,as well as an upgraded rear axle,front disc brakes,and upgraded wiring. The goal is to make it a daily driver once it's streetable. Here are some pictures of it before it was brought home:

Only things I've done to it so far is added a "new" bench seat, some 15x7 steelies,and I've sourced a few miscellaneous trim pieces that are damaged or missing.

I hope you don't intend to use this in the dead of winter on salted roads. That solid body will go away quickly.

Right now the plan is to re-wire it,convert to 6v,and try to get it running with the stock flathead 6.
