(Above description from Google.com) This vehicle is in great
condition. The interior has leather-like black seats that are in
great condition. Black exterior paint is in very good condition
with only a couple of minor scratches and a small ding at on the
left right fender. The tires are in fair condition and are
undoubtedly old, and they have no manufacturer s date. but some of
the rubber has cracks in it here and there. The rims are in good
condition, and the wood wheel spokes look so cool and age
appropriate. The top of the car has a heavy vinyl material which is
in very good condition. (See photos) This car has such character
with its fold-out windshield, hand operated single windshield wiper
and crank starter handle. The dash s paint is clear and smooth even
though in the photos it looks like the seat cushion opposite it but
that s just a reflection caused from the nice paint on the dash.
The oil spot you see under the car on the concrete is NOT from the
car, it s been on the concrete for years. The car has a couple of
small leaks from the rear axle, engine oil pan and transmission
tail housing but nothing significant. This is a beautiful vehicle
which be a plus to any collector s collection.IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD
IDEA TO GET AN INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY INSPECTION ON ANY USED
CAR.
