Look closely...it's a '55 Coronado!
It has an Imperial steering wheel. Also an interesting fix for the master cylinder.
Have a nice day

Someone alerted me of this on another forum. Nice to see another Coronado surface. Too bad it isn't in better shape, but it runs! I've contacted the seller about the PT information concerning the vehicle for my Coronado Database. Hoping to hear back from them.
In the meantime, I'll be offline for about a week. Dropping my husband off at the airfield tomorrow. He's shipping off to Iraq for the next year.

Best wishes to your husband during his tour of duty and please thank him for his service!
He is appreciated!!
I second the sentiment. My son did 4 tours over there. He will be in our prayers
I agree. Our service men and women are doing a great job with a difficult situation. Our prayers are with them.
Thanks for the prayers and support. They're greatly appreciated. Whenever someone thanks Eddie for his service, he always thanks them for the support because he couldn't do what he does without it. So thank you from him.
I am glad to be back online once again. The internet makes it much easier to stay in contact with him.
The seller of this vehicle has promised to send me a photograph of the PT plate, but I have not received it yet. Still working on it.

I never did get the PT plate info to add to my database from this vehicle. Anybody here buy it?
Also, the seller from another Coronado on ebay came through with their PT plate info last nite. Interestingly, that vehicle shares the same paint code (431) as mine! Sadly, I won't be able to get the twins together as this vehicle has been purchased by someone over the pond in the Netherlands. Hoping the buyer will keep in contact about the car.
Thanks to everyone who sent me an email about a lead on these cars. Please keep them coming as they turn up! My database is building slowly, but surely!
