Recently, the car has had over $12,000 invested in it. The servicing includes the parts to follow: rebuilt transmission; replaced all five whitewall tires; wood spokes oiled; running board rubber replaced; windshield motor and arm repaired; turn signals installed on the cowl and rear fender; exterior mirrors; replaced exterior spare tire cover; upholstered the rear rumble seat; repaired the odometer, speedometer and fuel gauge; and a custom all-weather car cover for storage.
