- CLOCK DOES NOT WORK
- BOTH BUMPERS COULD USE A RE-CHOMEING IF YOU WANT SHOW CHROME. OTHERWISE THEY ARE GREAT DAILY DRIVER QUALITY.
I HAVE LOTS OF EXTRA PICTURES AND VIDEOS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR A PHONE NUMBER IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK IN PERSON.
IN 1958 ONLY 3084 OF THESE CARS WERE MADE. TODAY THERE MAY BE 80 CARS LEFT WITH LESS THEN ONE-THIRD OF THOSE BEING ROAD WORTHY.
I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT LESS THEN 5 FACTORY AUTUMN ROSE CONTINENTAL CONVERTIBLES EXIST AND YOUR LOOKING AT ONE OF THEM.
THIS CAR HAS BEEN RESTORED BUT AS IS THE CASE WITH ANY 50+ YEAR OLD CAR THAT HAS BEEN RESTORED MY IDEA OF " BEAUTIFUL", " EXCELLENT CONDITION", ETC. COULD BE DIFFERENT FROM YOURS. ALL BUYERS UNDERSTAND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT CAR. BUYERS UNDERSTAND I THE SELLER HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO DISCLOSE ANY KNOW PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR BUT AS WITH ANY OLD CAR THINGS CAR CHANGE FROM TIME OF POSTING.
THIS IS A CHANCE FOR YOU TO OWN AN AWESOME EXAMPLE OF HUGE 1950'S IRON WITH OUT HAVING TO SPEND A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY
PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ALL QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS BEFORE BIDDING. DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE.
ALL FUNDS HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR AND IN MY ACCOUNT BEFORE THE CLOSE OF ONE WEEK.
