This '49 5 Window was restored and used lightly and then sat an extended period of time. It was purchased and used a few times and then again sat. The paint looks fantastic as does the body, bed, interior etc. It drives wonderfully but the underside shows a little oranging in the joints and on flat areas from a little ground moister. It has as stated by the last owner only 400 approximate miles since it's restoration.
