Description

This car was sold new in 1956 by Wray Brothers Ford in Van Nuys to John and Muriel Dow who cared for the car meticulously and serviced it regularly (much documentation is preserved). The car was driven sparingly but was used to drive the son, who was the actor for recordings of the series "Leave it to Beaver". The current owner searched for a long time for a nice original car and finally found this one in 2004; it had then only been driven 31066 miles.
The car was in good condition but sun-bleached it was also equipped with original hardtop, largest engine and automatic. It was taken home and left to a reputable paint company that sand blasted the body and painted it in the original color bought from the USA. The interior was reupholstered and a new convertible top was fitted. It has now driven 46558 miles and is rarely used. It’s now time for someone else to take over this gem.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • 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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
