Undercarriage: Looks like it was done a few years ago! Clean, dry, no leaks, no rust, basically just needs dusting. Owner always wiped it down after tours & the care shows. Road Test/Mechanically: Runs & drives beautifully w/ no problems. SUMMARY AMAZING! An 84 year old car that was restored 54 years ago that is this reliable & still looks this good. This is a testament to the restoration & pride of ownership. The Family believes a shop on Rising Sun Ave. Philadelphia, PA did the resto & any AACA member may research the car’s awards; no records remain in the family.
