THE 312/270 HP WITH DUAL QUAD CARS WERE PRODUCED AND IT IS MY
UNDERSTANDING ONLY UNDER 900 ARE STILL ON ROADS TODAY... THIS IS A
ONE OWNER CALIFORNIA AUTOMOBILE THAT LIVED ITS FIRST 25 YEARS IN
CALIFORNIA AND THEN TAKEN TO ARIZONA WHERE SHE HAD STAYED FOR NEXT
20 YEARS MOVING TO ORLANDO FLORIDA BY ORIGINAL OWNER WHERE SHE HAD
A ...NO EXPENSE SPARED...FRAME OFF / NUT AND BOLT FULL RESTORATION.
THIS AUTOMOBILE IS A NUT AND BOLT FRAME OFF RSTORATION DONE TO THE
NINES AND THEY DON'T GET ANY NICER! I WAS FORTUNATE TO MEET THE SON
OF THE GENTLEMAN WHO PURCHASED THIS FINE, RARE AUTOMOBILE WHO
BOUGHT IT FOR HIS WIFE NEW IN CALIFORNIA IN THE SPRING OF 1957 OFF
THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA. THE GENTLEMAN AND
HIS SON TOOK THE CAR TOTALLY APART AND CAR RECEIVED A FULL FRAME
OFF NUT AND BOLT RESTORATION. SHORTLY AFTER RESTORATION HIS WIFE
PASSED AWAY AND AT THAT POINT HE WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CAR
AS A RESULT OF THE HEART BREAK AND CAR SAT IN HIS SONS GARAGE FOR
PAST 10 YEARS IN STORAGE. THE SON IS NOT CAR GUY AND DECIDED TO
SELL THE CAR TO ME WITH GREAT HESITATION BUT I ENDED UP BUYING THE
CAR AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT WEEKENDS AND TO A FEW CAR SHOWS. THIS
CAR IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS AND ONE OF THOSE CARS THAT LOOKS BETTER
THAN WHEN LEAVING THE SHOW ROOM!! SIDES OF CAR ARE ABSOLUTLEY AS
STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW AND CAR HAS ABSOLUTELY NO
RUST...NONE...ANYWHERE TO BE FOUND THE CAR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL
DUSTY ROSE PAINT COLOR WITH ONLY ONE REPAINT WHEN BEING RESTORED.
SHE HAS NEVER HAD A WRECK NOR EVEN A BUMP ON HER! THE DUSTY ROSE
PAINT IS STUNNING WITH NOT A NIC OR SCRATCH TO BE FOUND!
