The Sunbeam is parked in the paved back "yard" just next to the above ground swimming pool -- these are my kinda people...but who knew that Reseda was actually in Kentucky. It doesn't matter, because the asking price is good...and you are buying a car, not looking for a bride for your first born son.
Is that a crank handle poking out of the front end? Did the Rootes group really sell cars in the 1960s with hand starting option? And what is that little bracket/step-stool attached to the front valence...I am so confused by this front end...but all the BBQ grills is making me hungry for lunch.

I remember being about 4 or 5, the guy down the hill had one of these. I saw the crank and asked what it was. He said that's how you started it! I didn't believe him, and asked him to show me. He did! Even at that age, I was surprised!
ReplyDeleteWell, as Tom Petty put it:
ReplyDeleteIt's a long day, livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway, runnin' through the yard
Or in this case, a traffic jam.
I own this exact car. it now resides in Bend oregon and it's restoration is to begin soon.
