Is there any chance the car saw duty in a municipal Fire Dept. The reason I ask is because when I worked for a municipality we maintained the heck out of our fire vehicles. The chief or district chief cars were basically one driver cars decently equipped and we had them all on PM programs so the oil and fluids and what not were changed according to the book. In our municipality the chiefs took the cars home so they were real cream puffs.
Lived it whole life with the same family, in Mindon ONT.
Summer use only.
My dad purchase this car from the grandson of the orginal owner, he was trying to sell it in his area for more than two years. It even sat on the side of the road with a for sale sign in it for 4 months.
No takers!
He put it in the toronto autotrader, had about 50 calls the first day. he was going away and would not be back for 2 days. My dad was waiting for him when he came home.
Payed $5000.00 for it at the time.
The car was all original, the paint was faded so bad it was pink! had two different types of hup caps on it. a real diamond in the ruff!
I bet if he saw it now, he would be kik'n himself for selling it.
My dad is the proud owner of this wagon for 8 year now!
Your dad has a beautiful car there. I saw it up close, and took lots of pictures, last year at the Plunkett cruise-in in London. Love that red vinyl interior, same style as I had in my 65 Parisienne convertible.
