Seeking a 1955 – 1975 DS or ID sedan for an art car project. The car does not need to have a title as it will only be transported between museums.
A complete custom interior will be fitted, so the car only needs to have an interior that can be reupholstered (not a burned or stripped out car). Body panels may have surface rust, but no major dents or rust holes. Trim and glass should all be intact and not severely rusted or broken.
The hydro-pneumatic system does not need to be operational. A running car is preferred, but this is not absolutely necessary.
Structure of the car should be mostly intact without severe rust damage. Trunk floor may be rusted out as long as surrounding structure exists to easily weld in or patch the floor.
Specifications above are bare minimum, but we are open to cars in better condition than described above as long as cost is below $15,000 USD.
If you have or know of a car that would be suitable for this project, please contact Roger Browner at AutoMat Custom & Restoration in NY. Email: rogerautomat@icloud.com or call (516) 938-7373 Mon-Fri EST 8am-5pm, Sat 8am-1pm.
I have a 1972 DS 21 Pallas that I think would be just what you’re looking for. The car is in fairly good shape but I have not really driven it due to physical/medical issues. The car has been garaged for the the last 21 years so there are no weather related problems. Once the battery is jumped it is a fine running car. All mechanical work has been done by Dave Burnham. I was planning in selling the car for between 20 and 25 thousand dollars but I’d be willing to let it go for 15K There are no major issues with the car. .I am located in Montgomery NY in Orange county.
Hi Michael, Your car sounds perfect and I’m sure you will be proud that it will be displayed at major museums around the world! Would you be able to post any pictures?
BTW, George Dyke just forwarded me your post and email address. I replied by email but received back an earthlink spam blocker link. Unfortunately that link does not work as it jumps forward to an earthlink login page for existing users. If easier please call me during a weekday at 516-938-7373. Thanks!
