    Thanks to 'Shine' and 'Rspears', your advice is greatly appreciated. 'If' the vehicle is still available after the holidays I will contemplate doing as suggested. I have to wait due to Holiday obligations.

    Just to further your education here's something similar:https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...eluxe.1327458/

    As Roger pointed out earlier that one you posted has many "out of date" modifications. A big one being the interior style and material as well as those wheels. This one is done in a more "timeless" style. It appears to be an original with some "high school kid first car" kind of improvements, though it's far more than that. It's better priced by over 10 grand and he's clearly signaling he'll go lower. It's been on the market awhile which probably increases his motivation, plus it's winter, historically slower time of the year. A good example of what one option of many are out there.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    any other pictures available?

    Here may be a dumb question......How long are these vehicles. I ask because there is nothing like them around me to visualize. Comparison: Mid-size truck?(Canyon/Colorado), Tahoe size? Suburban size? or Toyota Highlander size?

    Wheelbase on a '37 Master Deluxe 2 Door Town Sedan is 112.25". That should give you a basis to compare to modern vehicles, within reason. Google Tahoe Wheelbase, for example...
