Re: Opening a Time Capsule
The car will be removed this Sunday or Monday.
 No snakes to worry about, and the critters will just have to find new digs.  There are some rare parts that we know are burried there. BTW, it was just plain dumb luck that this deal fell into place. No geese were chased.

Re: Opening a Time Capsule
What exactly is that windshield tag? Looks like "Navy Air base"?

Re: Opening a Time Capsule
Ed bought this car in 1951, when he got out of the Navy.
 Columbus has a huge military depot, which includes a Naval Reserve base. Very small, but still very Naval. Every car entering the depot requires some sort of ID on it. Still true today.

Re: Opening a Time Capsule
from Port Columbus Airport web page
1942 A Naval Air Facility was established at Port Columbus. The Navy erected several buildings, lengthened the runways and enlarged the ramp facilities. Could not find much else, but there was a Naval Air Station there.  Mike

Re: Opening a Time Capsule
Thanks Andy and Mike. Nice history. It's a shame the glass is bad, nothing cooler than a 58 year old parking permit sticker

Re: Opening a Time Capsule
This reminds me of the 1941 Ford Convert. That my dad bought from the original owners about 1962. It is still sitting in the garage @ my mom's where it has not moved since then. Dad died in 1999 and I sold my share of the car to my brother who never did anything with it. He just sold the car to my sister and her other half. I have my fingers crossed. What is neat about that car is that the original owner was a traveling salesman and wanted something that "moved". It still has all of the speed parts that he put on it back in the day. Edelbrock alumn heads, Offy intake, dual Strombergs, etc.... and I can't forget about the Columbia 2 speed rear. My sister claims that they are going to do the car right in a couple of years.
Best of luck with the time capsul. They are still out there.

Re: Opening a Time Capsule
Okay, I think those guys on that board are crazy for wanting to keep a '32 over a Camaro.
    You did the right thing by letting your friend deal with it.
