PURRS LIKE A KITTEN
.

Absolutely NO smoke and NO hesitation. Will needs a carb rebuild, and we recommend the gas tank be cleaned out. Comes with a NEW 6 volt battery and
a generator (Real old school).
Car goes into all gears real easily. Comes with the unique Power-Glide transmission. This is the system that combines clutch-shifting, and handle-shifting to make the car go into gear... Brakes will need work before becoming road worthy, but this is a GREAT PROJECT to drive while you restore her.
2 (of the 4) hubs on this classic Coronet still have the L for LEFT HAND tighten and R for RIGHT HAND tighten which were found on rims back in the 40's and 50's before everything became Left to Loosen and RIGHT to tighten.
Forget the righty-tighty lefty-loosey...2 of the wheels are the opposite on this car.

Interior is good. It is missing a few small dash and trim pieces (as can be seen) here and there and some may need replacing. Will need an ignition switch. Seats have no holes and was reupholstered along with the interior doors and panels several years ago. The top fabric is good, but needs a cleaning and a reattached zipper rear window. All bows look good, and has only 1 fixable tear near the lower back...
Top lifts up and down rather easily.
Drivers door needs some hinges/pins. A piece of patina chipped off due to scraping against fender ORIGINAL
ISLAND GREEN
color, and some small bubbles by the rear fender. Trunk is overall solid but does have a couple rust-throughs about the size of a 50 cent piece.
