Notes:
"I rescued the car out of an elderly gentleman's back yard where it had been
sitting since 1968 due to electrical problems. The car was purchased for a
paltry sum, however as we all know, the savings on the purchase price went
right back into the car to make it live again. The car is driven daily
between San Francisco and San Mateo, Ca. (approx. 70 mile round trip) where
we sometimes see a '59 Corsair convertible running up and down I-280. I really
enjoy this car, however I am looking to find an additional E-car, preferably
with power accessories and an automatic, 'cuz this car likes to run and run
fast!"
