I have a Jan. '56, body number 1568 with Karosserie number 1572., so your car has to be a '56 car. Too bad the bumpers were sold, any idea who bought them?


I see the pictures off your 56 on the another post, beautiful Cool
Do you have another pictures from particularities of the first production ?

Thanks

It looks like your restoration is coming along nicely! I don't know if it matters, but the heater box above is for a 59-60 36hp motor. The earlier style is a little different.
