Unity Co,in Chicago is still making spotlites to order, no need to restore an old rusty one, I got mine for a 1948 Chrysler with all the mounting instructions and template.

great story glad you saved it. cool old pic I find the history and travels of significant automobiles as interesting as the old cars them self

And traded it for a CORVAIR?!!!!  Joefrazer, did you restore #129?  Where is it now?  Hojo3rd, congratulations!  That is a very rare and very desirable car.  Book value and what you might get for it are very different.  I would say maybe count on 1/3 to 1/2 of bluebook???  That is really just a shot in the dark, but it is a good looking car.

Here's what appears to be a condition #1 on e-bay if you want to follow the sale process...5 more days:

#129 was well beyond my skills as a restorer. It was traded off for parts to restore my Traveler and a 51F Manhattan hardtop. It now resides in Colorado.

Both the hardtop and convertible used Wilton wool carpet.

That's a beauty.  My father often speaks of a yellow '51 Frazer convertible that was at N.L Motors in Souix Falls, SD. I always wonder where that one went.
