Inherited Pap's 29 Landau...

Slw2206 · 2026-05-27T19:35:36Z

New user here, just came across these forums. I'm the lucky recipient of a 29 Landau thats been stored in my grandfather's barn since the 50s. When pap was still (he passed in 2001) he'd take the car into town once a month just to keep it fresh. Since pap passed my uncle (whos a mechanic and did the upkeep) drove the vehicle 3-4 times a year. Unfortunately my uncle passed December 2024 so the car has been sitting since. My father, who is executor of the estate, has the title and is signing it over to me. I've been able to start the engine but the car hasn't moved... yet. I have a flat bed and 12k lbs winch so I think I'll use that to transport the vehicle back to my farm. It's only a 25 minute drive so easy transport. Once I get it home it'll need a good cleaning and I'll start taking notes on what looks good, what's sketchy, and what must be replaced removed link This is the first resto I've done, so before I start the journey I'd like to hear some best practices from more experienced users. I'd attach some pics but the forums limiting me for now. Appreciate any advice you may have.

Ive been doing a lot of cleanup and assessing what needs replaced/repaired. Got the brakes freed up and working. Moved onto the parking brake links and found the pull back spring is busted.

Filling Station has these listed, but not in stock so I'm on their wait list.

Anyone have an idea on where I could find this (or a similar generic thatll work?
