Body off the frame, show quality restoration They started with a
clean car. Really, this one is impressive.
EXTERIOR: Outstanding! Body, paint and chrome are amazing. They say
it was a pristine body to start with, never been in an accident, no
signs of any rust. It is laser straight, all of the panels fit
square and flush. The doors click shut, just drop the trunk and it
will click shut. Great original 1950s colors. The paint is polished
out like glass right down to the bottom. I just put my hand on the
fender and it even feels slick. I certainly would not want to have
paid the bill at the chrome platers. All of the trim on this car is
restored like new. Upfront that big giant bumper and grill
glistens. The head light bezels are new. Very cool chrome strips
that run down the hood and on top of the tailfins are restored. One
of the coolest features on the car is that airplane hood ornament,
it lights up! All the stainless trim down the sides, around the
windows and on top of the doors is straightened and polished like
chrome. The flippers work perfectly at the top of the doors. New
door handles and optional finger nail guards. Has new fuel door
trim even. The chrome window frames were rechromed. Glass is
crystal clear. All the weatherstrips and fuzzy window strips are
new. The door jambs are meticulously restored, painted as nice as
the outside. The rims are painted the same green color, the hubcaps
look new and are polished like mirrors. The white wall tires still
look new. I can talk for a few more paragraphs telling you how nice
the outside of this car is, it is outstanding!
INTERIOR: I'm sitting in the car and I absolutely love seeing
what's in front of me. Beautiful restored steering wheel with a
floating Indian head in the center of the horn button. The dash is
painted just as nice as the exterior. All the chrome sparkles,
instruments are spotless. The original am radio is converted to FM
stereo, it looks original but has all modern guts. Interior lights
under the dash and the dome lights are working. Inside the glove
box is new and has the owner's manual. The door panels and armrests
look new. Excellent upholstery on the seats, the white vinyl has
little sparkles. Overhead is a cloth headliner and visors in mint
condition. Correct real short, tight loop carpet is excellent.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Smooth running 317 V-8 motor has four barrel
carburetor. It looks like a completely restored engine compartment.
Everything looks proper and correct. All the surfaces are painted
smooth, wiring looks new. Has original air cleaner and valve covers
that were restored. New insulation on the bottom of the hood.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Beautiful in the trunk too. Inside the trunk and
under the lid are painted glossy. The spare has a matching painted
rim with a brand new white wall tire. Includes the jack, has a new
correct trunk liner and weather strip. Latches have been
detailed.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame for a thorough restoration.
The chassis was restored. The front end was rebuilt, frame was
painted, shocks replaced. New rubber body bushings. The floors were
rock solid and have factory undercoat. Brakes were restored, hoses
and lines look new. Parking brake system looks restored. Bottom of
the motor is clean, not greasy, has oil filter canister. Hydramatic
trans is also clean. It has an underseat heater system that was
restored. Has dual exhaust with glass pack style mufflers.
The restoration and good honest quality of this car certainly
justifies the price. I have been doing this all my life, I'm
telling you the fit and finish is among the best!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
