I know, it really looks like a 1950s Ford, but, honest, it is the new sign for the Hamptons. Anyone who knows me knows that I am big into re-purposing, it is part of my Alaskan pioneer heritage, so when Leif was complaining that he didn't want to take this car he found in the the woods to the dump - I volunteered to make it into a sign.
I actually volunteered my Dad, Marty Lorenz, to re-paint the rusted body and install some windows to keep the neighbor cats out of the interior. He offered to get the motor running, but on closer inspection decided it was going to be more work that he has energy for. Having that stroke has really slowed him down.
It is not a restoration, although the car is perfectly restorable. It is a saving of an asset until someone else decides that it is important enough to them to make an investment in.
Meantime, it is going to sit by Nash road advising folks where to turn to get to the Hamptons. If anyone is interested in taking this girl home and giving her a good second life give me a hollar, once we get a real sign we will ring you up and see if you are still interested.
