 How's the rust situation with it? It looks to be in pretty decent condition but free kinda makes me wonder if soemthing is lurking?

Theres definitely a little underbody rocker rust but overall looks ok - much better than the 07 ridgeline I just picked up (and failed inspection today for rocker rust :smith: )The frame itself seems totally solid. Ill have to get it up on jack stands and do a full assessment shortly.

Smells very old and musty, I threw in a few damp rid bags and I'm going to strip out and replace or just deep clean the carpet asap since its a little damp and mildewy.

For 73 years old that car is in remarkable shape then. I'd guess it has been restored before in the past because not much actually looks that old and drat you scored big time. It'll look great with minor work
