model, the first with dual headlights, and few could be more

factory-correct options. Its engine compartment is detailed with
appropriate stickers and windshield washer bag, and the interior is
finished in the proper vinyl and Royal Scot tweed fabric. Most
thrilling of all, its retractable hardtop, sorted by the Calumet
Collection's expert staff with the aid of a well-known specialist,
fully functions as new - a wonderful display guaranteed to draw the
most crowds at any cruise-in!To view this car and others currently
