I bought this Coronet last year and like to know her previous history. What little I have is that an elderly gentleman in or around Springfield PA had collected a bunch of Coronets. When he died his wife put them in storage. She passed away and the cars were sold by the storage unit. My Coronet has the original color and a 273-2 and auto w black interior. I bought the car from [FONT="]Glenn Trainor at Herby’s Towing in Drexel Hill, PA and this info is from him. [/FONT]My research indicates that previous owners might have been associated with The National [FONT="]Railroad[/FONT] Passenger Corporation (now AMTRAC) because there was a cloth towel with NRPC letters in the trunk and two heavy iron bars, as can be used to fix railroad tracks were also in the trunk.
I would appreciate if anyone of you (in the Philadelpia area) can give me more info.

Cool looking car! Nobody ever leaves those hubcaps on but I like em! Our car came with those with redlines and I wish we had another set of wheels/tires for another look.
That's a beautiful 500! I hope you leave it just the way it is.
What a keeper ragnar, send in for the IBM card for it and learn more. Thanks for joining us .
