Location: So. Cal | Yeah, that hood ornament, the trunk emblem, the side view mirrors, & non-original antennae are dissappointing. Can't say I am thrilled about the electrical tape wrapped around the booster rubber, the lumpy dash pad or the black paint sprayed all over everything either. But on the bright side, it's an original A/C car! That's pretty cool -literally. The trunk pan looks really good too. If you can live with the holes that would be left behind from removing his additions & fix some of its issues, it could be a nice car.

The dual rear antennas on this car are the stock location for 1958 dual antennas. I think the asking price is probably at least $15,000 high for what it would take to properly restore this beauty. another one showing the dual antennas.

Location: So. Cal | Stock location, just wrong bezels and wrong antennae. That's why they are sitting wonky like they are - as you see in the first picture. I know because I have tried the same thing, although to a little better effect than he achieved. |

1957 Chrysler upholstery book shows that the interior white with red was only in vinyl (code 79) as optional at extra cost.
Here I see white vinyl with wrong red fabric inserts.
Very interesting to view an radiator support tag (data plate)
