PRIOR OWNER HAD FOR 32 YEARS, ALWAYS GARAGED KEPT, WENT THRU SELECTIVE RESTORATION IN MID 1980'S. CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND IS AN EXCELLENT DRIVER....STARTS RIGHT UP, RUNS SMOOTH, GREAT OIL PRESSURE, SHIFTS AND BRAKES WELL, TIGHT SUSPENSION, OFFERS ZERO SMOKE. TODAY THE CAR SHOWS SOME WONDERFUL PATINA VERY CONSISTENT WITH THE AGE OF RESTORATION AND CARE TAKEN...EXTERIOR PAINT WHILE SHOWING SOME AGE, STILL STANDS UP TALL. THE CHROME AND BRIGHT WERE REFURBISHED AT THE TIME OF RESTORATION AND STILL SHOW EXCELLENT. ENGINE COMPARTMENT REMAINS DETAILED AND THE FRAME AND STRUCTURAL WOOD ARE EXCELLENT. THE INTERIOR FEATURES REMAIN VERY TIDY, THE LEATHER SEATS SHOW NICELY, GOOD CARPET, VERY NICE WOOD DASH, ORIGINAL BANJO WHEEL AND VERY NICE ORIGINAL GAUGES.
