Car looks and runs great. My father has had this in his collection for about 10 years. Nicely restored when he bought it. He's done nothing to it but admired it and drive it on rare occasions....mostly in the local parades with other cars in his collection. He's got about 15! :) I'm his son and am listing this on his behalf. If you are interested, please contact me and i will get you in touch with him. I only know enough about these cars to list them....not speak knowledgeable about them. Sorry! :) This Car will turn 100 Years old in less than 4 years!!! Happy shopping and thanks for looking!
