Condition:Seller Notes:
Used
“This great car starts, runs and drives fine. However, since the car is now over 65 years old, we are selling it As-Is. All the gauges seem to work except possibly the fuel gauge. The heater fan does turn on. The paint is nice except for a chip on the hood, a paint crack above the right front fender and the driver’s door also has a small paint crack with a bubble. Some of the chrome shows pitting up close and the molding below the left rear window has some rust. However all pictures in this listing were just taken. The power top does need some help to raise and lower. Please contact us if you have any questions about this car or to set up a time to come view it for yourself.”
