I always enjoy seeing photos taken of cars nearly two decades after they were built. Always things to wonder about. Was the car being preserved at that point? Does it still exist today? Has it been lovingly preserved as original? Or "restored" in clown colors with too many lights littering the front? Or worse, rebodied "just because".

So many wonderful cars were lost to the "war effort". Seeing one escaping that fate with a hope of being around still another seventy years later is nice. Hopefully it looks just as nice or better now.

 

Thank you Walt G!
