mans in 1970, and he had the car repainted and almost all the
chrome redone within the first three or four years he owned
it. He’s been a wonderful caretaker ever since, carefully docu-
menting all the work he’s had done to the car over the years in
a notebook, including the engine and transmission rebuild he
had taken care of when the car was getting painted.
Did the Chrysler really need all that work done at the time?
Not really, “but I want it to look sharp,” Gloudemans says.
“I’ve always taken good care of it.”
He contends that he wasn’t pining to own the car, but he
always liked the big Chrysler and remembers when his grand-
father, Henry J. Gloudemans, bought it brand new. “Sure, I
remember back when he got it. He had a ’41 Chrysler before
it. He bought this ’55 Chrysler,” he says. “ I was only 10 years
old. He had it for about a year and then he died in ’56. He went
back and forth from the farm to the lumber yard. It was a big, CONSIDERING HAVING AN AUCTION?

“The car only had 3,000 miles on it, they told me, when
my grandpa died. My grandmother didn’t drive, so her sons or
stepsons would drive her wherever she wanted to go.
“So in 1970 she was kind of getting up there, and I went
and discussed it with her and that’s when I got it. She said no-
body else in the family wanted it…. and I’ve had it since and
I’ve taken care of it. There were only 28,700 miles on it at the
time I got it.”
Gloudemans stored the Chrysler in a barn for many years
during the winter months, but eventually the farm owner died
and Gloudemans moved the car into a garage stall at the apart-
ment building where he lives. “I moved it here, and that’s the
best thing I did. Because now it’s right next to me here. I can
put it on jacks or blocks or whatever I need to do with it,” he
says. “I don’t drive it from about Oct. 15 until about April 1.
It doesn’t ever see any salt or snow, and I don’t have to worry
about getting stuck!”
