New to B bodies. Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Brian and I just rescued a 1969 Dodge Coronet from a field in Missouri.

Welcome from Illinois!! St. Louis is my home town. Can't tell too much from one photo but that doesn't look like your typical field-find. Congrats on scoring a great B-Body!!

Hi Brian, step right in and tell us some more! Was the field paved and under cover? Looks like a pretty good car.

Welcome from New Zealand. Nice Coronet!
I admire your faith in how secure those building and gardening tools are on the wall.

Do they rent storage spaces in that field? I may want to store some of my cars there if they'll look that good.
And greetings, welcome to FBBO from NY! Nice looking Coronet

Welcome from Southern CA:
Brian: You have a nice find there, good luck as you fix it up and drive it.
I had a friend with a beautiful Aston Martin, and I was lucky enough to drive it a few times.
His garage looked like yours, with tools hanging all over the walls.
One morning, he walked into the garage, and a $20 Shovel had fallen on his hood during the night.
$7000 later, he had his hood fixed.
Just FYI for you !!
Get those tools secured on the walls....and let's see some more PIC's of the Coronet!!

It was in a barn for about 15 years and they moved it to higher ground due to a possibility of a flood. It sat there for 4 more years. The owner passed away and his wife sold the car. It looks good in the photo but it’s rusty underneath.
