Condition 

7

The car description indicates it's a well-maintained classic with a continuous ownership history since 1928, suggesting it has been cared for over the years. However, without specific details on the current state of wear, a 'Very Good' rating is appropriate, assuming slight wear is visible but no significant damage is present.
