Today, in the spirit of actually seeing an old car in the dead winter that seems to have taken a hold on us again, I decided to check out a project that I'd considered buying. This would be our fourth project we've looked at so far, and none so far had little enough rust to be considered for a first-time restorer like me. We were hoping that this one would be less rusty; a black '61 Rambler American Convertible, less engine. We contacted the owner, who told us where it was. We went to the place, lifted up the tarp, and saw... Another car with disintegrating floors and rot all over. Too bad... hopefully we'll find a project by summer (if it ever comes here). The photos are of the car under the tarp from the back, and the front, which was not covered.
