  11. NO DEAL!

    the michigan guy disappeared!

    but instead, i now know that the car was born as a 1947 buick!!
    (i finally got the car's documents, and the chassis serial number is 14750551)

    as seen here: http://books.google.ro/books?id=PO65ddhim6kC&pg=PA69&lpg=PA69&dq=buick+roadmaster+chassis+serial&source=bl&ots=rNDInS_jPF&sig=uaYqFei658uyu29-AvCidixX6dY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=dDwoU-2aIsqq7Qbz3IHgDA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=buick%20roadmaster%20chassis%20serial&f=true

    ...it's a Flint (Michigan) car!

    ;)

    and it's about 20ft long!!!! hehe
    (i know that becoz we had to see what container to use... the 20ft or 40ft one)


    and that's all folks!
    not much written on the greek old document!

    well...
    now that i run about it and know what's needed + the costs....
    the car is officially FOR SALE!
    shipping worldwide!!

    :)

    SPREAD THE WORD!

  15. I am so happy someone saved this beauty. I am sure it is one of a kind. Ad I know there were many people who wished they had the money to restore this incredible find. I would love to see this car done but do not want to have to join face book. Can anyone just post on web?

    1. Yes, anyone can post on the web.... anyone can post on facebook, anyone can make a blog, make a Tumblr page, a wordpress, a Livejournal, etc.
      What specifically are you referring to about posting on the web?
      Photos? Information? A website?
