(aka FB 50) Restoration Project
We found this beauty as part of an estate close-out in Maryland. We are currently having this vehicle restored in a shop in Rural Retreat, VA. The current plan is to have it restored to as close to original as possible. We have finally determined definitively that this is a 1921 Chevrolet. This was based on the casting marks and dates found on the engine, motor mounts, heads, flywheel and exhaust manifold. Here are some photos of "old Grumpy"......
