This is the most solid and original car from the 50 s I have ever experienced. The original owner's grandson sold me the car a couple years ago having never driven it in 30 yrs. Mileage is correct! It has been fixed up to drive as if it would never be sold yet. it must. Please check out the photos and description to appreciate the coolness of this very desirable body style. color combo. and condition with just the right patina.

-100% original both outside and inside. -264 Nailhead V 8-Original paint shines very well with expected blems being 60 yrs old. -Zero rust ever-The doors open and close perfectly. -Upholstery is incredible. -Rear seat is perfect underneath new covers that I installed to prevent damage from the kiddos.

It's an incredible car. However. there are some blems from age and use (paint chips/dings/scratches. slight pitting on a few pieces of chrome. driver's armrest deformed. cracked paint on tops of doors)
I have this listed locally and in Hemmings (where there are more photos). Therefore. I reserve the right to delete this listing.
