VEHICLE SUMMARY

  • AACA Senior & Grand National Award Winner: Highly decorated, high-quality restoration holding prestigious Antique Automobile Club of America honors, including AACA National First Prize Senior (2004) and AACA Grand National First Prize (2006).

  • Factory Ludington Green Two-Tone Finish: Finished in elegant factory-correct Ludington Green upper and English Green lower paint adorned with classic side body moldings, bumper fog lights, and chrome-capped body-matched wheels with whitewalls.

  • Fireball Inline 8 Power: Smooth 248ci OHV Inline-8 engine paired with a classic 3-speed manual column shifter ("3-on-the-tree").

  • Two-Tone Bedford Cord Interior: Exceptional two-tone tan Bedford cord cloth bench seating surrounded by beautiful wood-grain dash trim, carpeted floor mats, and period-correct appointments.

  • Fully Working Vintage Accessories: Dash-mounted analog clock, bumper fog lights, factory AM radio, and turn signals were all fully functional when tested.

CONDITION & KNOWN QUIRKS (READ BEFORE BUYING)

  • Paint Condition Disclosures: Paint retains strong gloss and show-level presentation overall, but the trunk lid area exhibits localized paint chemical etching/micro-checking (under-finish spotting that cannot be buffed out).

  • Passenger Door Lock: The passenger exterior door lock mechanism operates internally, but the key cylinder is currently non-functional/does not turn with the key.

  • Tire Condition: Whitewall tires hold good tread depth but show inner sidewall dry rot with year 2000 date codes (replacement required prior to highway driving).
