"The car has been carefully maintained over the years and has no issues that need to be addressed, and it is ready to drive. It's unusual to see a car like this in such good original shape, having just been repainted due to fading Carlifonia sun. Fantastic car to drive and to watch."

Description

This car was sold new in 1956 by Wray Brothers Ford in Van Nuys to John and Muriel Dow, who took excellent care of it and had it serviced on a regular basis (much documentation is preserved). The car was driven sparingly but was used to transport the son, who starred in the television series "Leave it to Beaver." The previous owner spent a long time searching for a great original car and finally located this one in 2004, it had only rolled 31066 miles at the time.

The car was in decent shape but had been sun-bleached. It also had the original hardtop, the largest engine, and an automatic transmission. It was imported and given to a respected paint company, which sanded the bodywork and painted it in the original colour the paint was purchased in the United States. A firm in Eslöv reupholstered the interior in 2019.

The current owner purchased the car from us last year but is forced to sell it owing to illness.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
