This is a real sweetheart all right! The perfect little family old car. I wonder if he'd  sell. I could use a matching set! My red 66 has the same black steel roof option and thank goodness whoever bought it ordered that way or it would likely be a convertible by now.

I've been driving mine around Alberta this summer wherever I've been based with the airtankers and it has been totally delightful and dependable again this year.  Probably put on 3 or 4000 miles. Its a quite surprisingly quiet for wind noise even with the four door hard top configuration.  The only drawback is that I suppose it is probably the easiest car to break into I could ever think of but I try not to get to obsessed with that kind of paranoia or I'd never leave the yard. 

I managed to find and add an original tilt column (from a Lemans) this spring and I must say it improves my entry and exit quite a bit as well as making the long drives quite a bit more comfortable. Now I want to a install a 1966 era cruise setup and I will have a well set up highway car.

I was thinking about an overdrive but I have to admit I really am getting fond of the old Powerglide. It just works so well. 

Sure would be good to get a peek at the interior if he gets another chance.
