Purchased in 1981 from a Colorado seller and driven sparingly/lovingly since then. Body is in good condition, interior is very complete but fabrics need repair or replacement. Great 50's styling and paint color combination. Extremely advanced for its time, with all electric seat (front) and windows, Autronic Eye (automatically dims high beams based upon lighting conditions) Search/Scan Radio (in 1958?!), Electric Radio Antenna, Electric Trunk Latch and many more features. Vehicle was recently gone over by Studio Hotrods in Richmond, Illinois, who got the car to start and run. Recommended approximately $4,000. of repairs for replacements of Carb., Fuel Pump, Gas Tank, Door/Window Gaskets. Optional recommendation was to modify the braking system to disk brakes at a cost of approximately $4,000. A real head turner, at an affordable level.
