VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
A nicely preserved 59, mile original unrestored Clipper. In the same family since 197. Family purchased it from the original owner, who took delivery from the Baltimore dealer. The car was converted to a 3-speed manual shift transmission, and standard brakes. The car has coil and leaf spring suspension, and non-assisted steering. The car has no power accessories or equipment except for the radio antenna. It is also unusual in the monotone exterior color. It is the result of a multi-year search. Now the fun begins.
