Thanks to some knowledgeable Mopar experts who have pointed out the paint code on the broadcast sheet shows the car was originally all white. So at some point in the 90's the car had some paint work done very professionally in the original lacquer paint to make it a two tone red and white. The current owner assumed it came that way but never investigated as he bought the car because of the quality of the car and the fact that he had bought a nearly identical car, new in 1957. We apologize for any misrepresentation, we were only posting what we were told by the current owner. The previous owner had removed the factory undercoating and painted the underside and detailed the engine bay for show purposes.The interior and drivetrain are original and unrestored.
