The original buyer kept it for 18 months. At that point, it was bought as a high school graduation present for the 2nd owner (purchase document included in sale), who owned the car for 49 years. It was garaged for a long period and was restored by the owner’s husband as a gift for his wife in 2005. Sadly, she contracted cancer shortly afterwards and passed away. From that point, the car was garaged and not driven at all. I purchased the car in 2016. This car is for the true collector and offers a rare opportunity to own a classic masterpiece of Americana. Do not let the opportunity to own this car pass you by.
