My daughter had my somewhat short of a barn find framed. She so thoughtful.
I love it.

Rusty - Do you have the chassis number and original paint code for the yellow car, or better yet a photo of the hinge cover tags? I have a '59 coupe in Condor Yellow, which is the original color, and I have never seen another A coupe in an original yellow. Mine has original black steering wheel and knobs. Wondering if yours does as well. Thanks.

I’ll be moving the cars in a week or two and provide additional information on the cars. The one on the right is a 58 and appears to be matching numbers or at least in the range of production the other is a 63.
Now I know why Adam has so much fun,

Yeah, there is nothing quite like getting about a mile down the road and looking at the car on the trailer, priceless!

Greg, love the little double bubble Abarth, but as was pointed out earlier this is a 356 group. Inside I found a twin grille roadster all painted but disassembled and a 55 Speedster. Three othe nice cars inside but not 356, but not to leave anyone hanging, a 1985 wide body cabriolet, ‘77 Emerald green 911 Targa and a ‘72 DeTomaso Pantera. It was in my mind a find of a lifetime.
My first Porsche was a 65 911 Delux, wood trim and wheel, Bali blue with grey
Leather seats. My first 356 was a 57 T1 Speedster, I’m excited that my
Last one will be a 356 Speedster.
Enjoy you Thanksgiving feast.
Rusty

Rusty, as cool as the cars looked, I think they looked better on my trailer, thanks for a clean deal. I much prefer to deal with a Registry Brother and Rusty was everything you can hope for in a deal, honest, trustworthy, nice, and fair. He even turned me onto a 912 a friend of his had, the hits just kept coming!
