Underneath the hood a 235 cid inline six provides plenty of motivation for work or play. The bay has been restored to factory specs with an oil bath air cleaner single Rochester carburetor and correct cast iron exhaust manifold. The original 6-volt electrical system has been updated to handle 12 volts. Behind that inline six is a 3-speed manual transmission with a brand new clutch.

Suspension and braking remains stock with leaf springs and drum brakes at all four corners. Between the doors a simple fully restored interior shows well and carries the vintage theme of the exterior. A black vinyl bench seat offers a view of the Lipstick Red steel dash that houses original instrumentation behind the steering wheel. The use of black is carried to the upper half of the door panels headliner and rubber mat that protects the floor.
