ADDITIONAL NOTES
- Seller states, "This is a three owner car, I feel that is an important aspect of the Ownership History. It was sold through Malcom Konner Chevrolet to the first owner. The first owner had her for quite a few years but only amassed 15-18,000 miles. The car was then sold to a John Deere tractor magnate out in OH and he tucked her into a collection. It was then finally, only 5 years ago, bought and moved to CT."
