Interior is decent but needs to be fixed up in places, presents nicely as is, great for a daily driver. Horn doesn't workWipers work, but slowly, these are original vacuum operatedHeater works, but blower is weak, but switch and motor do workEmergency brake does not work All in all, the car is a great rat rod or driver as is or restore. Great overall mechanically.Very low reserve for a dependable as is daily driver 1955 Pontiac. I bought to drive, but found another car on my bucket list and need to sell this one. My loss is your gain. Fly in and drive home, if your adventurous.
