Sold to the President of Elgin Watch Company June 18. 1962 and then to the second owner in the early eighties. the current owner looked for two years for an original un restored example that was not in need of a restoration but a solid car with no rust issues that he would be proud to put into his collection and drive.

The paint on the car is very nice. no major scratches. dings. or blems to the car. Very deep with your reflection very visible when looking into the paint. Very good weather stripping throughout the car.
