What’s special about this listing
Our mom left us this car. It was her most prized possession. She passed recently and, although she told us “I will haunt you if you ever sell my car,” here we go! I wouldn’t mind her haunting me actually. She personally wrote up the sales order in the 50’s when she worked at McDaniel’s in Fenton as a young woman. She bought the car from the first owner and the rest is history.
This will be a great project car for someone out there. It is literally mostly all original, including paint, chrome and under the hood! It needs TLC. It has been stored in a garage for 46 years. It wants a new home with someone who can bring it back to life.
