NEW TOY ! :cool:
Got this from (MIA) Ale
he made me a offer i could not refuse.
the dome is clean & no dings dents scratches...it would polish out very nice as well as the crank handle & gear tubes no plating needed just polishing !
No Name or stickers on this just some cast #J 22-2, 163, Dont know if its a Garve ?

Geez i measure at 22 5/8 LO & thought that was just under 7 1/4 LO ? (seems inconstintant) & the pointer is a flimsy blade.

Lite works but heating element does not, Cool detail & underneath some exposed wireing,, but seems like a very easy restore is possible.
yea thats paint drips & runs along with the water spray. But a easy fix to paint this nice.

232323232%7Ffp73498%3Enu%3D8986%3E396%3E25%3A%3EWSNRCG%3D359765493334%3Bnu0mrj

The gearing is silky smooth & built like a tank (no slop or wobble)
232323232%7Ffp54347%3Enu%3D8986%3E396%3E25%3A%3EWSNRCG%3D359765493234%3Bnu0mrj

I dont have any idea how old this, I always wanted one & if i wanted i can have this cherried out (restored) very eaisly & not much $ needed to do so.
Its cool as is & will look good for now with a Minimal cleaning....

232323232%7Ffp54384%3Enu%3D8986%3E396%3E25%3A%3EWSNRCG%3D35976548%3C234%3Bnu0mrj

Hey Che,
That's exactly why I wore my brim up when rolling around in my caddy. You can't be giving out the secrets :D
That Hudson...:eusa_clap
If you ever get the inside info on another car like that, shoot it my way

Very new to the club...I picked up a Walton for 9 bucks! Not sure how old but obviously never worn.

Very nice, and welcome from your lower neighbor! A few more posts, and you'll be able to post photos-- would love to see this Walton.

Che, super stretcher, man! Glad to see you're in good spirits!

Rusty, that's brilliant...
