THE REAR SEAT IS VERY BAD CONDITION AS PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT TAKEN OUT AND FORGOT IT WAS OUTSIDE-SHOULD BUY REAR SEAT FOR INTERIOR-IT WILL MAKE A RESTO ON REAR SEAT MUCH FASTER.

THIS CAR WAS SHIPPED TO FLORIDA SOME 30 YEARS AGO AS PART OF A COLLECTION AND WAS SUBJECTED TO A DIVORCE BATTLE LEAVING THE CAR OUTSIDE FOR YEARS.
