Ridiculous! Look at those door sill plates and the rocker switch for the turn signals, yup Ridiculous.

Beautiful art on 4 wheels.

Back when they made Real automobiles.

Thank You for sharing.

You are bang on, there is more chrome/polished aluminum on those four sill plates than there is on a complete 69 Camaro.

Stunning automobile.

Incredible! That car has been well loved in its life. Love those interior door handles. Seems like a very reasonable price given the condition.

I just want the engine...:biggthumpup:
Look at the homes behind it. Appears they were built around the same time.
That switch for the turn signals is very unique. :cool2:

----The only thing I saw (which is totally insignificant) is that the floormat in the front is for the back seat. The correct front mat or mats probably deteriorated and were discarded. What a cool battleship!!!...Bill S

Brings to mind the '57 BelAir Sport Sedan Fuelie that Charlie brought for Vintage Certification last year. Charlie, you need to buy this and do it again! :beers:

Look at the steering wheel, dose it go into the dash and the column is behind the dash?

LOL.......it's a car that you invite three of your buddies over on a Friday night and everybody pick a corner. You then start polishing it, working toward the middle and pray that your micro-fibre clothes meet at the middle pillar between the doors late Sunday afternoon. And then everybody has a long, cold beer.

Unfortunately your buddies will never come over again.......

You can spend hours pouring over all the cool details of this magnificent automobile such as the ‘door locks’.

It seems because the inside door handles are in the middle of the slot, that you would push forward to lock and obviously pull back to open, yes?

Are these for your thumb?

Interesting cat for sure. He's also apparently got a 60 and in the ebay ad for this car, he lists the link to the website with a test drive of the 60
