The description has a number of contradictions. Vehicle number is for a 1948 Super convertible (short wheelbase), not a Custom (long wheelbase), and engine number is for the original 327CI, but the description says it has a 288CI. Was the original engine replaced with a 288? It says both automatic and manual transmission. The automatic wasn't available until 1950. Which is it?

@FLcars – other than the leak, does engine and and drivetrain and breaks all perform in very good working condition. Do all of the gauges work and all of the light work everywhere including dash. ...
Yes the gauges do work
Car runs and drives however it does have leak coming from the block I would recommend loading on trailer till it’s fixed
Does the car run, drive and stop? Where is the leak coming from, the radiator, a hose, engine? Thanks
