Good morning fellow Vintage car enthusiasts. Thank you for the initial bids. As a collector for Over 30 years, this Fairlane is absolutely a stand out. It’s finished to a very high level from top to bottom. Runs flawlessly- and starts up on a dime. Shows zero signs of bonding and no rust. Paint is show car quality- and Chrome was replated and is perfect. Top goes up and does as it should. Car has less than 600 miles since 312 engine was completely rebuilt. Best of luck to all those interested in this fine automobile.
BID: $15,000
