This car was bought by my father in 1973 from the Dudley Bros. dealership in Comanche Texas. The car was taken in trade there in 1966 then parked behind the dealership until 1973 when an auction was held and my father acquired it with the intentions of using it as parts car for his 1956 Imperial at the time. Fortunately for this 56 New Yorker his plans never materialized and it remained intact. My father in the mid 80's gave it to me and it has been in my possession ever since. From about 1989 to 1998 it was driven on a regular basis then parked as a result of needing a brake job. Only recently in the last few weeks have I begun the process of rebuilding the brakes and cleaning out the fuel system. The factory WCFB Carter 4bbl carburetor has been rebuilt and runs great. It currently is very dusty and sitting on 4 jack stands in my shop garage while I complete the brakes. The pictures that you see here were taken a couple of years ago when I pulled out to wash it and take pictures of it next to my 1956 Desoto which I had at the time. Basically aside from recent dust accumulation from sitting in my shop last couple of years the car looks exactly the same. I no longer have the Desoto as I sold it shortly after taking these pictures. This car has lived its entire life in Texas and has been stored for the last 40yrs inside out of the elements when not on a road trip. All this to say is that this is a VERY SOLID basically rust free car with the exception of one spot on the passenger front fender down low where leafs apparently collected inside the fender at the dealership. There is a spot about the size of a 1/2 dollar where it rusted a hole from the inside out. This car ran great when parked and always started right up. With its Power Steering, Power Brakes, AutoTransmission & Hemi it was a real pleasure to drive and still will be. PLEASE contact me with any questions you might have. Thanks for your time and interest!
