At least it's a hardtop and not a post. Too bad she wasn't into rag tops 62 years ago. Got my doubts about the value they put on it in the video. Nostalgia is only worth so much.

Would love to know what been needed to keep it going.
In normal use, it's hit mileage that made cars of the era used up.
Over that really.
60 years of age has to have taken a toll on whatever hasn't wore out.
Garage kept might have helped.
I'm guessing it's not been the sole daily driver for a long time.
"Its a superior car"
My butt!
It's a bad steering, bad braking, bad ride, bad handling,
finicky, maintenance intensive POS compared to a car built
in the last 20+ years.
Nice? Yes.
Cool? Yes
Wish I had it? Yes!
Want to drive it everyday?
NO!

90 yrs old, driving 2 tons of steel, can’t see over the steering wheel.
3 second reaction time for her crusty synapses to fire and apply the brake pedal to 4 drum brakes.

charming She's probably never had it over 20mph, braking hasn't been an issue for her. Betcha could jump in that thing and stomp it to the floor and roll coal like a fcked up diesel truck!
