From the bias ply tires, to the correct hose clamps and cloth electrical tape all the way down to the period correct month registration sticker on the license plate, this car is showroom new. Family owned for the past 25-plus years, this car has a lot of sentimental history. “It was my father’s dream car when it first came out in 63, but as a young man just starting a family and career, he was unable to afford the new car cost of $4,385.” Eventually he was able to get that car of his dreams. Dan’s folks detailed and showed the car for a number of years, before passing it down to Dan and his family to enjoy. “Dad even chauffeured my sister and brother-in-law from the church to their wedding reception in this car”, says Dan. The car has won numerous awards including a best in class win at the Rancho Palos Verdes Concours D’Elegance held at Trump National Golf Course and most recently a class win at the National Riviera Owners Association meet in Sacramento. It’s the joy of sharing a classic vehicle that took a great deal of hard work, time and money with others who have owned, or knew someone who had owned one of these true classics, that Dan enjoys the most.
