I found this car in Clear Water MN 2 years ago. It had been stored since the early 70's and is in #3 condition.
My Grand Father had one the same color etc. It drives great with only one exception. On a hot day in stop & go traffic it stalls with vapor lock. What is the best way to solve this problem.
Thanks, Ed Holter 248-548-5211 eholter@nutechonline.com

I would suggest a good 6v fuel pump with pre-filter as close to the tank as possible. When it may vapor lock flip the switch. An electric pump is also great when you go to start it after it has sat for a while.
