The Build
Saw her 4 years ago at a car show and fell in love at first sight. Took four years to make her mine. She is a survivor car and almost 100% original. I am the fifth owner. Original owner bought her new in January of 1956 and kept her in the garage till 1984 and sold herbwith 12,000 miles on the odometer. 2nd owner kept in garage from 1984 till 1999 and sold with 15,000 on the odometer. I purchased her with 53,000 original miles. Always garage kept. Seats and carpet had plastic covers till 4th owner. I am proud to have her and will do my best to keep her pristine. My wife and I enjoy attending car shows most weekends. She drives and rides smooth like riding on a cloud. She has a push button 2 speed automatic Power Flight transmission. Everything works as it should. Front brakes were upgraded to power disc brakes for safety reasons on modern highways. She has manual steering which was standard.
