Oh, yea...that's a big difference. That's a beautiful car. I doubt Mike Meffords restoration will be nearly this good. His mission is to restore and preserve stopping short of that like new look. Personally, I like the "like new look" as seen in your picture. Anyway, I appreciate your stories and sharing the picture. It tells me they have a long way to go. I did see that they'd replaced the front left rim, brake assembly and tire. I truely don't see how Mike has all the time to work on all these projects he has in his shop. Thanks again...

What a great experience, James. Thanks for posting the photos, well done too. It's amazing what they can bring back from the "dead".

This is a very nice series, Jim. It is sad that I saw a couple of those cars which I owned similar models. I should have taken better care of them. But at that time, who knew?

I know, I have a lot of things I threw away over they years that are now collectables and worth some money. At the time it was considered junk. Now, I'm a little more careful about what I throw away.

If you follow the TV show "American Pickers" on the History Channel, occasionally you'll see Mike and Frank buy a car that's in need of a little repair. Well one of the shops they use is Mefford Motors in Columbia Tennessee. You may have seen an episode where Mike and Danielle toured his old Chevy Dealership and shop for a possible partnership. Since that episode, the Old Dealership has made many exterior improvements to replicate an old Texaco gas station. I happened to be in the neighborhood and stopped by. I wandered the outside till I found a open garage door and yelled inside. Mike Mefford the owner greeted me and quickly asked that I follow social distancing rules. He said I could roam around freely and take all the pictures I wanted. I was elated and with that, so I walked inside helped myself to some old cars. All were in various stages of repair. I had a great time, and I hope some of you will enjoy these few snapshots I took.
