Location: Lubbock, TX		Appears to be the car sold at the 57 Heaven Auction in Branson, MO back in 2009 for $190k including buyer's commission. I always wondered where it wound up for the past 15yrs. Should be interesting to see it sell No Reserve.

What makes you say that? Pics look clean and clear to me.

Location: Finland		It just looks so fresh . like restoration finished the day before..
Look at the radiator...perfekt paint but too glossy maybe.
People do use older pictures.
I would really love to have that car for sure..

Location: Lubbock, TX		Restoration by Bob Schmitt for the museum, at the time one of the leading restorers for 50's cars, I believe just about every convertible in the museum sold for record numbers. Should be interesting to see cross the block.
