Condition 

8

The car is in original and unrestored condition. The vast majority of its maroon body paint and tan striping show gentle patina and wear but are too good to consider replacing. The nickel trim throughout is fine and would respond to a good polishing. The leather interior is still wholly intact, original, and very usable.
