I just acquired a 56 Normal Coupe that has been parked for 45 years and needs a lot of work. The car is missing the engine and most of the lights and many other trim parts.
Since my current car is a 58 Super Coupe I am hoping to locate a restored 56 that would share photos with me.
I also hope to locate as many missing pieces as possible since some my not be available as reproductions such as turn signal switch and ash tray.

Re: Barn Find
Congrats Steve! Here's a good start on photos. Even better than restored, both these are unrestored and original.

Re: Barn Find
I have a restored '56 1600 normal coupe. PM me what you need and I can email you photos. I have quite a few of my car. Also if you have a list of parts needed, send it over I may have some. I don't have much but I do have some.

Steve if you haven't already, check out this site:
http://www.abcgt.com/forum/14-356-Resto ... jects.html
- a lot of restoration projects in great detail - including all the frustrations and questions of 'how to' - not just pretty pictures; my '57 coupe is there too.
Good luck
Steve.
