I like it! Aren't too many here in NY in that condition. Good thing it was put away 10 years ago.
I was working at a Chevy dealer back in '73. Fun times.

The car looks great for a 35,000 mile vehicle, let alone 135,000 miles.

2 years ago, I got a call from a lawyer who was handling my late uncle's estate. My aunt had bought a new Coupe deVille in 1964. They usually only drove it on special occasions. The car had been kept in their basement since 1971. Long story short, I inherited the car. My uncle had actually listed me in the will to get it. I had it trucked to Maryland from Alabama. It showed up with 38,682 original miles showing on the odometer. Of course, the wife and I have driven it to Ocean City Maryland a couple of times and once to Buffalo New York to see Niagara Falls. It now has about 42,000 and change on the odometer. Here is it

that is still factory lacquer paint from 64. You can see it is straight as an arrow............not even door dings
