Actually, I think thats a 42 Dodge, a much rarer car than a 46 Chrysler. 1942 car prodcution was cut short due to the war, so they are much much harder to come by, either way, killer find!

The problem with cars is it is worth as much as someone is wiling to pay for it. Afterall, I don't care how much this rare ****** insert car in stars, is worth or how rare it is, I don't want this brand **** (Again, insert make in stars)
That old metal is worth $500 to me, $5,000 to someone else.

I can see some real potential for an outrageously cool street rod out of that tin. If I were you I would brave the cold and the yankees to check this one out.

I just had to open mouth and insert foot! Heck, half the folks here in Florida are yankees, in fact, you can see George Steinbrenner in this neck of the woods on a regular basis. I may be originally from Virginia, but after 28 years I'm now a Floridian in my heart, does that make me half yankee? LOL
