Not mine. Looks like a decent builder.

That is very interesting. It lacks the steering column molding, has the early hand brake grip but it is not aloha green.  Not many of those out there.

Good eye Fid...I did not notice the differences. Indeed, there can't be many of these. This would be a good one to save.

Looks a lot like my '51 HJ except mine was a four. Same blue color but was originally Aloha Green. Mine was number 444 off the production line. Wish I had a color shot of it. I don't remember mine having the steering column molding but it had the same hand brake grip as this.

The asking price on this car has been dropped to $3500. I think it's a good buy and if I wasn't knee deep in projects, I'd consider a closer look.

Compare it to this one -> http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/cto/5656779262.html
