Great find! What town was it in? I'm only about 12 miles from where Bucknam Pontiac was in Palmyra. Wellsburg is a bit of a hike from there. You have a lot of strange and interesting cars near where you are. I used to travel the southern tier a lot and there are still a lot of great finds in that area.

I saw that ad and didn't bother to respond- sounded like a typical rotted-out parts car. If that car was properly advertised as what it was, there would have been a bidding war. I'll bet that car ran at Watkins Glen and if so would be welcome at their vintage events. Keep me posted on the progerss, that car would be a very interesting feature car when it's done!
Again, congrats- You bought that car right!

"It's Norwood, not Norwalk" You are absolutely right. Had Norwalk on the brain the whole day for other reasons. My car was built in NORWOOD. Thanks. Tom V.

From the look of the invoice, it was a dealer/owner car. The driver, Buckham, is also on the car door.

By the mid 80s all cars would have had to have a log book. He might have been part of the last group before the change.
The car obviously has many Herb Adams trademarks built into the car. The way the car is "tied together" is obvious as it looks just like the Herb Adams catalog info on how to do it right. Looks like the safety stuff was done correctly too. Will be a great project for you with a "History" you can be proud of when you get it done. Tom V.

Hot damn! What a find! Looks to be virtually rust free...what a great candidate for a period correct restoration. If it were mine, that's what I would do with it.
