Ron Hamilton Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Pretty nice build. It has a very nice look. I have a couple of them in my collection to be built, one of which I am going to do in white, with a blue interior, just like a friend of my Dad bought new in 1963. I was with them when he picked it up at the dealership. I love those cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
