HIGH END SPECIALTY SHOP TAKES CARE OF HIS COLLECTION AND HAS "CARTE BLANCHE" AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE SURE ALL CARS ARE READY TO GO ON A MOMENTS NOTICE. THE CADDY WAS JUST SERVICED. THE BEST PART. (AND NOT LUCKY FOR THE OWNER) IS THAT THE WIRE WHEELS AND TIRES ARE BRAND NEW - INSTALLED THE FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER. ONE OF THE OLD WHEELS HAD A LEAK FROM ONE OF SPOKES. RATHER THAN FUSS WITH IT AND TAKE A CHANCE HE AUTHORIZED 4 NEW WHEELS (WHEEL VINTIQUES) AND TIRES (AMERICAN CLASSIC COKERS).

SMALL SPOT ON REAR BUMPER HAS CHROME CHIP WHERE THE TAIL PIPE OPENING IS. DID MY BEST TO SHOW IN PICS. ORIGINAL RADIO IS IN THE TRUNK. THIS CAR WAS ALWAYS ON HIS DO-NOT-SELL LIST. WHEN HE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PIC UP HIS ROLLS ROYCE. HE BUMPED HIS LEG ON A DUAL-GHIA. AFTER GETTING A HISTORY LESSON ON THE GHIA. nbsp;NEEDLESS TO SAY HE WALKED OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP WITH BOTH CARS. NO OTHER VISUAL DEFECTS - NO KNOWN MECHANICAL ISSUES.
