I inherited
this car from my Uncle, who bought it new for my aunt
in 1959 as a "graduation present" from her drivers
education course. She drove it for about two weeks, before
taking a corner a little too wide and hitting a batch
of garbage cans on the curb, denting the fender. When
she got home and told my uncle about her accident with
the new car, he lost his temper and yelled and screamed
at her. My aunt remained calm, however, and responded
in the way that only an Irish woman can --- "Fine,
she said. If that's the way you feel, I'll never drive
it again."
She never did.
After the dented fender was replaced, the car sat in their
Los Angeles garage for the next 40 years, and was only
driven on trips (by my uncle). It was in LA until 2000
when I had it shipped to Massachusetts after they both
passed away. It has been garaged since it arrived in Massachusetts,
and has never been driven in the Winter. BUY IT NOW FOR
$12,500.00.
