I'm telling you the owner of this car and his wife are fussy about their cars. It was their baby, the license plate said baby! It is detailed and dialed in. It barely spent a minute in our shop because it didn't need anything. Only 2,200 miles since built, most of those miles were to and from shows. The awards in the pictures are not included. Now it's your turn to enjoy it, maybe win a few trophies of your own!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
