Those are cool pics Bill! Congrats on your trophy! That green 54' oval ragtop was badass, even though it has never been started or driven, the original accessories and that interior was museum like. I had never seen an oval of that caliber before. :shock:

Thanks for posting those pics.

That car is so damn nice. I went back several times to take another look at the various details. I couldn't get over all of the rare options.

Kevin here's a pic of the interior with less reflections, I asked my wife to shield the passenger side glass in order to get this pic.

The little match stick card next to the ciggy says..." Think Small"
I heard that this sunroof does'nt even have oil or brake fluid in it. :shock:

I just noticed the engine components all have that Cosmoline gold coating. I should have spent some time talking to the owner to get to know more about the car. Those are all NOS parts right?

That is just one of the best engine bays I've seen in a long while, beautiful detailing.

Would have loved to see the NOS Judson Badge too...never seen one of those.

And was this car in hotVW's a few years back with whitewalls on stock smoothies/stock stance but the same motor :shock: ?
