Here's a little story of how I found this beauty. I go to Penn College in Williamsport for auto body collision and usually there's some cars in the shop to be worked on. We don't work on cars 10 years or older. I walk into the shop to do some work and was like whoa. Now I know no one likes words so I'll just get to the pictures. Sorry for the cell phone quality. Enjoy!

This thing was incredible. Almost all of it was still original.

Edit: got some more pictures

The seats were totally awesome, although cracked. Yet still so awesome.

I'd love to work on a brass-era car. Sleeved valves, flame ignition... But that one's still pretty cool.

Nope, randomly came in. The school doesn't work on cars older than 10 years so basically the guy who brought it in just wanted to show some people I think. From what I know he drove it to the campus which is pretty impressive. The leaf springs were even pinstriped, this thing was absolutely gorgeous.

There's also no gas tank to produce the flame for the Headlights. It's supposed to be mounted on the, in this case, passenger side running board.
