VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
I recently acquired this vehicle from an estate sale. It was purchased by the late owner in 1963 at Hollenback Motors in Spokane Washington. 544 actual miles and has been stored indoors for over half a century. It is all original including paint, panels, interior, top, drive train etc...Only 5 were produced from the factory at a price of 59. We have some historical documentation including the dealer invoice and tire purchase in 1963.
