Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I picked this up last week and debated to leave it in the box or put it together for the first time. The box was in rough shape so I decided to put the pedal car together. All of the packaging, the box and spare parts are saved. This came from the Memphis Cycle & Supply Company, Memphis, Tennessee.
The front of the car was well protected in the box the back part of the cardboard was torn apart so it was filthy and stained, lots of news paper added for protection dated 1951-52.
After I assembled the car I gave it a good wash and hit it with a Mequires product, I am amazed it looks NEW!
I documented it all as it was removed from the box and assembled. I will give this a good wax and still have to deal w/ some old masking tape on the front bumper but I couldn't be happier with the results. Thinking about 4 new hubcaps and hood ornament for display purposes only.
Right decision to assemble?
