AI Listing Summary

While the car has been restored to concours-quality and kept in climate-controlled storage, it has seen little exercise in recent years and will require thorough professional inspection before being driven. It is adorned with extensive nickel plating, complemented by dark blue paint and the interior is upholstered with rich black leather. Along with the brown trim and white painted wood wheels, it contributes generously to the Pathfinder’s commanding, stylish look.
