He acquired the car in present condition. He cherished the car and attended local car shows with it regularly. A newspaper clipping of an interview given by him about the car quotes him as believing the car originated in the Carolinas. Description: An overall solid, nice driving example of the first year of the “shoebox” Ford. It is generally stock, with a few minor cosmetic custom touches. The interior is in great condition, with seat belts added as a safety upgrade. The radio does not currently work. The car starts easily, runs smoothly, and drives nicely, a testament to the electronic ignition and radial tire upgrades. We are located in beautiful Staunton, Virginia in a building originally built in 1911 as a Ford Dealership. We invite and encourage you to visit us for a personal inspection of the car, or to send your mechanic or appraiser prior to buying. This car is sold as is and with no warranty. If you have any questions or would like to see further pictures, please do not hesitate to call.
