My History
Over the last decade, I have been owned by three different
people (Before that I am not yet sure how many people have
had the pleasure to cruise with me).  The first person had great
plans to restore me to my original grandour but unfortunately
passed away before he could get started.  The next person was
very mechanically proficient and began the restoration by
rebuilding my 390 cu.in.  V8 and 3 speed hydromatic
transmission.  My exhaust, generator, and brakes were all
rebuilt or replaced.   After completing that part, I was sold to
my third owner in Moncton, New Brunswick.  This older
gentleman had my original black and white paint sanded off and
replaced with a much more attractive red.  As well, he had my
interior redone in a matching red and white pattern.  Once the
paint was done, he realised that he had to rechrome my
bumpers and trim which set him back almost $6000.00.  After
replacing the power window motors, radiator, wheel covers,
tires, and many other small parts he was done.  I now was ready
to cruise Moncton.  At this point it is 1997 and for the next six
years I was used sparingly for weddings and car shows.   My
restoration began when I had travelled just under 50,000 miles.
