The car is finished in Chevrolet satin green as when new. The interior is true to the original & like new in green leather & beige Bedford cord. The Faux wood dash has been superbly replicated & again is in like new order. 4 new whitewall tyres are fitted all round. The convertible top likewise is in perfect condition & glides up & down at the touch of a button.
Original Brochures & colour charts come with the car. Additionallly there are magazine articles done on the car & a full set of photographs showing the restoration process. This was a full body off process with the chassis being stripped back to bare metal prior to being primed & painted. All brightwork was removed & refinished/ rechromed as required.
In addition to the cosmetics, the mechanics were fully rebuilt to as new. The engine was stripped & fully rebuilt, painted in pale blue as when new. You have to drive the car to appreciate how good it is & how far ahead of their time these early post war american convertibles were. It simply wafts one down the road with ample power from the big 216. 5 cu in inline six which is a paragon of smooth silent operation coupled to the manual 3 speed gear box.
