Theoriginal window sticker, books, Protect-O-Plate, and California registrationsare provided with the purchase of this car, as well as the original numberedkeys. Four vintage road maps were found in the glove box and they go with thepurchase as well. There is a "smudge" in the original paint on thehood about 8" square. Looks likesomeone spilled something on it sometime.Not bad at all, but it's there. Ashtray appears unused. This is awell-preserved time capsule from 1966 and it is indeed rare to find a vintagecar like this in this condition.
