Proud owners, Paul and Mary Ellen Renaud

Looking back, I wonder where all my friends from the ‘48 line went. I heard quite a few started to rust and some were even sent to the salvage yard. The worst thing that happened to me was that my owner, who lived in Kansas, replaced my beautiful flathead V-8 with something called a 327 Chevy. Then, I was put in a barn for 27 years. In 1993, my owner sold me to a gentleman in Missouri. By now I have been painted black over my original crème color. I only had 73,000 miles on me and I was looking forward to being driven again.
