THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in EXCELLENT, VERY NICE DRIVER-QUALITY condition throughout! The paint has a deep lustrous shine to its finish with nice original contrasting chrome and trim pieces. The paint was refinished many years ago by the previous owner and still presents well. I would rate the exterior of this car a solid 7.5-8 on a scale of 1-10. Imperfections include some pitting on the original chrome and trim, light scratches, some rock nicks and paint nicks and other minor blemishes. While a notch or two away from concourse quality, this is a beautiful sunny driver that would present well at any classic car show.
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this car is in excellent condition throughout. .very good seat upholstery, nice headliner, original steering wheel, virtually PERFECT vinyl dash, nice door panels, working odometer and groovy dial speedometer, cold air conditioning, good heat, nauge works and the auxiillary ice classic stereo, working lights and blinkers. The factory temp gauge functions, the horn and factory am radio are inop.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Buick starts perfectly, runs very well with excellent torquey acceleration, smooth shifting automatic transmission, superb braking with excellent power brake feel, buttery smooth steering and supple suspension and smooth power steering. Overall this is one beautiful half-century old cruiser that garners attention everywhere you drive it!
