Second owner had purchased this beauty well over thirty years ago and drove it very little.For the past twenty five plus years this car had only come out of the garage to play three times and that was for local parades. She has only registers 40781 on the odometer. I believe, and would even put a wager on it, that it is actual and original miles on her. It appears the spare tire is the original. Paint looks to be original except maybe the cream color; I am not sure if cream was added later over the burgundy. Interior is beautiful. All leather with no rips or tears in any of the seats. Could use headliner replacement and perhaps new carpeting. All of the wood is in very good shape, dash wood, sun roof wood trim all very nice. Chrome all very nice, a few very minor paint nicks and scratches but then it is almost 65 years old! She has a fresh tune-up, oil change and a new battery. I was told that the radiator was rebuilt three years ago (for the last parade she was in) and it seems to be working well. If you plan on going on a road trip I would suggest the tires be checked. They appear to be in good shape with lots of tread but they look pretty old. She is currently tagged and registered in the state of Oregon until June of 2016. From 1946 to 1952 there were only a total of 5,208 Mark VI produced. Of that 5,208 there were only 180 4-door saloon models with the updated and more powerful 4.6 straight six with the 4-speed transmission. That makes this car very rare! How many out of 180 produced are still alive today? I saved this one from who knows what and now she needs a good, loving home for another sixty years or more. Would consider a trade for maybe even a Ferrari LOL. Just thought I would throw that out there. If you have any questions, give me a call 1-530-357-2982.
