I bought the '49 in October of 2009. Back story in a condensed version is that my new wife (married Sept. '09) told me at one point that she wanted an old car. This is her wedding gift from me. It was supposed to be a surprise, and it was for a couple months until my sister had too much to drink one night and spilled the beans.
So here it was the day I went to look at it the first time. Of course it was raining...

It was rusted, glass was busted, it smelled like ass and there was dirt and grime everywhere. Basically love at first sight, right?

I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
