Car was originally sold in Manila, Philipines to an Army nurse.
Car was shipped back to San Francisco and purchased by second owner in 1970.
Car was parked out side in storage from 1980-2011 when I purchased it. I am presently in my 3rd year of restoration. First picture is as I got it.

Peter,great looking car, and a good group of fotos to show the way. Did you do the steering wheel your self as well? Have always preferred the wire spokes in orig. steering wheels, but love the wood too. Looks like you have the combo worked out...put on the miles she deserves!
