second hand Riley Automotive

 I've started to see cars resold that we did the chassis for.
Not sure who the original owner of this one was.
Spotted it on ebay.
Has some nice details,and some ah gawd ones ..see below

 

If I was to give out a award for the worse tail lights ever on a Tudor

the 1959 Cadillac piston lights would win hands down !

 

Come on,keep it clean and simple.

I used 41 Chevy tail lights in this sedan a few years back..
