So, I spent something like 36 months looking for a late 1950’s or early 1960’s Desoto or Chrysler to take over the daily driving duties from my 1947 Desoto. Everything I looked at in Northern California was junk one way or the other.
After coming across, quite by accident, the 1964 Chrysler 300K and finding it to have nearly perfect sheet metal with factory paint, I thought I had hit the jackpot. Almost no body work other then new paint would be needed. Yesterday we parked the car for lunch at a café in Marin, my wife and I were sitting there eating and watched another diner walk out and get into his Range Rover. He then proceeded to back directly into my driver’s door caving it in. We
saw the entire thing. So much for my nearly pristine 1964 body sheet metal. Now I must do a major door repair. I opened a claim with his insurance company. We shall see how that goes. Rebuilding a door correctly is a time-consuming job. I suspect that I will get into a pissing match with their adjuster. I do not want a bondo job. I want perfect sheet metal. So, the fight will begin!
