Notes:
This is a beautiful '58 that is in excellent condition (Condition 2). It has been in
the family for the past 13 plus years. Due to an impending move (job relocation) we're
not able to take the car with us. It's a tough decision to part with this car that we
dearly love. It draws a lot of attention whether its driven on the interstate or cruising
around town. We have driven it in a parade to great reviews.
