Notes:
I am the second owner of this classic automobile, purchased in 1968 from the owner of Niles Edsel Mercury in Portland Oregon when we lived in the area.

The paint has faded and oxidized on most of the car.  There is some rust.  The interior needs complete refurbishing.  The car is very sound mechanically and purrs like a kitten.
