I googled the 1952 Hillman Minx, I think its awesome, it would be a real head turner here . We actually drove the Trailblazer 2 1/2 miles home and it seems quiet and doesn't smoke, although it could be 100 turns from a spun rod. I paid $1200 for the Trailblazer and got a whole parts Trailblazer from my neighbor for $400. After the body shop pulls on the fender supports a bit and materials for the paint, I'm hoping to have it done for a little over $2000.
