While browsing the internet one day, I came upon this rare Canadian built 1954 Belair convertible and of course I could not pass it up. So i quickly dialled the number and offered to buy it.
What I didn’t realize at the time was the location of the car, which was on the other side of Canada. So once I secured the purchase, my next job was to figure out how I was going to get it home some 4400km or
The car was shipped via enclosed trailer from Ontario to Vancouver. We then hauled it home, lots of folks kept coming up to us on the ferry line up to take a peak at this cool ride. They were surprised to learn that it was I, a female, that was the owner and soon to be builder of this precious cargo!
Upon unloading at home, I was a bit scared about the magnitude of the project. As it was in rougher shape than I expected. After all I had only seen a couple of photos which where taken a few years ago. This was my first purchase of a project site unseen!
As you can see from the photos the car didn't look too bad from a few feet away. But as youll see in my youtube videos, there is quite a bit of rusted out areas that will need new sheet metal. So keep watching this entire car build on our YouTube channel as we attempt to bring this classic car back to life!
