This car has been sold.

In 1982, my Grandfather passed away and my Father sold his car to one of the neighbours. I had always had my eye on this car so I asked my Dad to tell the neighbour that when he was done with the car, I wanted to buy it back from him. In the spring of 2000, I had that chance. I bought the car back and had it carried to my home.

In 2006, I also inherrited my Grandfather's boat. Although the Newport never towed the boat in my Grandfather's time, I think it would be nice to restore both and go back to his old fishing area with them.

You can see a pencil rubbing of the fender tag in the pictures above. The tag decodes as follows...
