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.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car.
Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
will be given a 1 year membership.

We sold this car a couple years ago to our truck driver. He
thoroughly enjoyed it, taking it to many cruise nights and car
shows. Won many awards. It was trouble free. It also was a great
conversation piece, people were really intrigued by it. He only
traded it in because it was time for a change. It is someone else's
turn to enjoy this rare 57!
Rare utility sedan muscle car with dual quads! Rust free.
