This is an original car. Except for the wire wheels, which were an aftermarket add-on. I purchased the car from the son of the original owner who purchased the car in 1952. He is still available for documentation or information regarding the original purchase. The speedometer does not work and there is a on the windshield. There’s a scuff on the right rear fender and it burns oil. But it starts up good with a new battery and it dries fine with good brakes that were rebuilt in the front after I purchased it.
