It was done by Don R. Hoelscher in July 2010. Don is a profession Antique, Classic Automobile appraiser and a Judge at many events and competitions.His report shows that while this is not a Concours level restoration it is a very nicely restoration and one that can be driven, shown and enjoyed on a regular basis. “ It shows nicely and was fun to drive, it is a real eye catcher”.It has been housed in North Carolina since.

Since the purchase, the new owner had the seats firmed up with new cushioning and had the upholstery replaced with genuine leather with a yellow piping that matches the beautiful “Good to Excellent” yellow exterior paint.
