The interior is original in all aspects, back seat has some thread separation, can be repaired or replaced. The car has not one speck of rust or repair, look at the undcarriage, fender wells and door sills. The original crotch coolers located in front fenders are unique to this vehicle, ala 52 VW and Jag and are fully functional.Every piece of Original bright work is near perfect and wax ready. Check the rear trunk grille, spotless! All factory emblems, scripts and badges are in place and look good, even the slide over key cover, #11 in bucket.
