Come on now John you spoiled it for me…..LOL Anyone can paint a car black let's see the Data Plate. I must say you have a pretty fair collection happening there. I had unbelievable interest in these cars. I've sold my Tricolour and my D500 just in the last few days. I'm still getting calls on these cars from up here in Canada which surprises me and I've had great exposure from the US side as well

Not a statement but just as a matter of interest, I leafed through the few copies of our 57 registry that I have left and I counted several solid coloured CR 2dr HT and converts including my convert! Maybe unusual but certainly not rare!

Other than the fact it left the factory with Solex glass all around, there is nothing else noteworthy. No decoder ring required!! Just look for the broadcast sheet or send for the punchcard copy to get all the info.

Thanks, Greg the Solex glass is still all around with exception of the windshield I can't imagine that being original. The old gal is pretty rough body wise with exception of the chrome pieces for whatever reason there are in better shape than most of my other cars, no one removed the radio????. It has a 325 cu poly original with in it [seized] Somewhere they started to remove that by torch cutting the cross member? Clown Activity…LOL . The original air cleaner is still with the car.The body panels are all straight [surface rust, UV ray damage] the floor and trunk pans are a different story.
