Next project with this car: |
Nardi Steering Wheel ... Also have a 65 C Cab
in California that's my everyday driver when out there on vacation.
It's original and unrestored and needs a total restoration but it
drives like a new car and never fails to get me where I'm going.
It's my favorite old shoe, Irish Green/Blk |
