This is a body off frame restored car. It's from a local collector
known to have really nice cars. It has been upgraded to 12 volt
which makes it much more practical: starts easier, lights are
brighter, it has turn signals and a stereo.
EXTERIOR: All metal body and fenders it's in excellent shape.
There's no rust or damage, it's straight. It fits really well,
doors shut like a new car. It is repainted the original maroon, but
they did add a touch of metal flake which looks really pretty. It's
polished smooth and glossy. All of the chrome and stainless trim
looks like new. It has the optional bumper guards front and back,
wing tips on the ends of the bumpers, dual mirrors, and fender
skirts. Reproduction Firestone white wall tires on painted rims.
The owner is very proud of the custom-made flipper hubcaps in the
front. The running boards have the correct rubber coverings, the
fender weltings were replaced. The glass looks new, it has been
lightly tinted. The gaskets and seals were all replaced.
INTERIOR: Sitting in the car looking around it really looks like
new. Nice carpet on the floor with matching mats. The seat is
rebuilt and upholstered correctly. The cloth door panels were
redone. Armrests, window cranks and handles look new. All the metal
trim is painted really nice. The dash is beautiful: the gauges,
chrome trim, knobs, steering wheel etc. It has a modern stereo
below the dash and speakers in the kick panels. It also has an
aftermarket heater below the dash. The cloth headliner and visors
are redone. Seat belts were added.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: I just touched the ignition button and it fired
right up. It purred so smoothly, I could barely tell it was
running. It looks like new also. It has the correct cloth wrapped
plug wires, chrome head bolts, carburetors are rebuilt. The
generator was updated with an alternator. Everything looks proper:
the radiator hoses, wiring, new horns etc. The 12 volt battery has
a disconnect inside the car.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It looks nice. Reproduction rubber mat, the side
panels are little nicked up. It has a painted rim with a white wall
for a spare. The jack is located under the floorboard.
UNDERSIDE: It looks practically new underneath. There's no rust,
the floors are smooth clean metal with a satin black finish. The
original frame has the VIN number that matches the title and it's
also smooth clean metal. It is obvious it was all apart; the nuts
and bolts look fresh throughout. Newer dual exhaust system with
glass pack style mufflers and optional stainless tips.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and repaired the horns and brake
lights.
I wouldn't be afraid to use this car, it functions very smoothly.

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.
