He wanted to know how the Buick was stored for 65 years. To confirm, the car was "stored" indoors and maintained such as scheduled maintenance & start up over the years to insure the condition of the vehicle did not deteriorate. This is what the family did until we took possession in CA. The vehicle has been gone thru with a tune-up, fluid changes, NAPA battery and more while in my family's possession. The Buick was an original California car which we transported in an enclosed trailer by the transport company. I will help securing a transport company if you need assistance. We are selling her because we had a 4 car garage and downsized to a 2 car garage when we moved to smaller premises here in TN. He also questioned the color of the interior as he remembered beige of that year. Both colors were used as shown by the original Buick brochure which will be included. I thank you all and the potential buyer for the questions & your understanding.
