The Story of Rosie:

She’s one of many ‘46ers to come hot off the assembly lines right after world war two ended. 

Original owner died and his widow pushed all his cars into the river (this was in the 80′s)

My grandpa and his sons pulled her out with two other cars-with the intent to restore all three.

She was partially restored in ‘88 but restoration halted due to unfortunate circumstances. 

Restoration was finished by my uncle and my dad in the summer of ‘89 and then she sat for a few years while my uncle attended college.

She was in car shows from ‘89 to ‘01. But not highly maintained.

In ‘02 she was filled with junk and put into a dilapidated barn.

15 years later a 18 year old girl asks her uncle if she could buy one of his classic cars. She somehow ends up with a pile of rust, a ‘42 ford convertible, a parts car for that said convertible, Rosie, and a trailer.

Her dad is unfortunately not trilled about her having all these cars and only agrees to bring Rosie home where is now kept in a heated shed and is slowly being brought back to life.

(The pile of rust, the ‘42, and parts car all sit in a field awaiting the day where I have a million dollars or the day I find a new home for them.)
