My newest project, a '54 Commander Regal Conestoga wagon. Was hoping it was untouched, after a conversation with a precious owner I found it was partially restored about 20 years ago and once took first place in a national car show. Former owners are Ira Schreiber (INebraska) and James Richter (Iowa) if anyone knew them . Both were involved with SDC.
Right now I'm going through the usual steps of waking the dead (it's been in storage for at least 15 years). Fuel tank has been replaced with a stainless one but NO FILLER NECK (!)
Finally got the fuel pump pumping today but no gas getting to the manifold, so some carb work to do. Fortunately I have an extra WW from a '62 GT Hawk ( which now has to be sold because I have a one car garage!).

Guess exterior photos will have to wait- forum is saying files are too large (taken with same phone, same settings, same time)

Thanks for posting your pictures.

Have fun with your reresection. Be sure to post any significant update photos.
Great to see another Conestoga coming back to life.

Siemanko! Mieszkam w Szczecinie i często szukam rozrywek w sieci. Ostatnio wpadł mi w oko ciekawy automat na duo spin casino z motywem wikingów. Grafika zrobiła na mnie wrażenie. Wrzuciłem depozyt i początkowo szło fatalnie, myślałem, że to koniec gry. Jednak wpadły darmowe spiny z mnożnikiem i nagle byłem mocno na plusie. To była niezła jazda bez trzymanki, ale ostatecznie portfel stał się nieco grubszy. Warto było zaryzykować chwilę czasu.
