That is the right answer! It was on Wilson's floor from new. It is dead
on original including the driving lights. They were installed in
1964. The original tires are still soft. The only flaw is a few
scratches. When I was talking to the guy about flying up and driving it
home, he thought I would be nuts to drive it and not trailer it because I
would "ruin it, it only has 8000 miles". When I told him I have one with
37,000 original miles that I drive every chance I can, he asked why I did
not trailer it.
