Notes:
Appraiser's comments: "Car is in very good condition and very well maintained.  The car is 95% original.  It does have minor dents..  The tires are almost new at 95% tread left on tires.  The wheel covers are all original and in very good condition.  This in itself is unusual.  The front seat has some wear to the fabric, however the rest of the upholstery is almost like new.  The carpets show very little wear.  The mechanical portion of the car appear(s) to be excellent."

Body is straight, original paint with few retouched dings, clean chrome, no rust, glass is good, with no chips or cracks, lights and lenses all sound, new water pump, new exhaust, reconditioned brake system.  Engine is very strong.

The car belonged to my father since 1967, and was garaged all that time.
