No, the car was originally from one family in PA that owned it until the 1980's. It was then sold to a man in central Oregon. I now have it here in Washington. It has been garaged it's whole life.

Jim, that's a beauty. It looks like a car that used to be in Northern California. Is it from Nor Cal?

Jim, photos would be helpful in determining the value.Original cars are only original once, so preserving them is important. Real nice originals are always highly desired by car people. It sounds like you may have a car that was in your family or a close family connection. Cars like this draw a lot of attention at car shows and especially at Early Ford V-8 Meets.

So glad you feel that way Jim, and yes, an unrestored car in pristine condition is rare, certainly more valuable dollarwise, and more respected by those in the know. Our club, was one of the leaders in recognizing the originals as something to preserve rather than to restore. We have an award, the "Rouge", for such a car, presented for each of three different areas of a car: The Exterior, the Interior, and the Engine/Chassis.

Thank you for the input. I am not a "car guy", mostly into antique motorcycles. In that world, the unrestored originals in very nice shape are always worth more than the restored bikes. I was curious if that were the case with this old car. It is way too nice to restore in my opinion.

Try NADA or Old Cars Weekly price guide books for "general" guidance on value.
