I figured that troublesome piece was there. What ingenious engineering though.

“Umm, that’s Anglia, isn’t it?”

I think so. My second car, bought in 1965, was a used Ford Anglia.

Then again, my memories of the 1960s are hazy.

Idiot only comes after, at the time it seems right, I cannot advise you, but why not sell 1 car and call it close to even? The rust is an issue!

Here are the three cars I have now:

1962 Cadillac series 62 four door hardtop. I drive this one a couple times a week in nice weather only.  
1960 Chrysler 300F 2 door hardtop. I drive this one a few times a year.  
1963 Lincoln 4 door convertible. This one hasn’t been driven in many years.

Which one would you sell?

Lincoln. You never drive it. Let someone else enjoy it if you don’t have time to.
