At least the climate should preserve it. Hopefully to a good owner.
Yes the new owner is also a big C body
guy, and I'm sure the car will like the climate down there after spending almost 30years in a c-can
Idaho where the shipper picks the car up in the next few days. The 300 made 400mls without any problems at the border crossing the American authorities where happy to see the car and the officer was thanking me for bringing the 300 back to the USA.

And the windows are up why?
Because of all the ash that was in the air causing by all the wild Fires we have at the moment our air quality is
poor at the moment.
It was the last time raining over 2 months ago.

The top was down, that means windows go down. If you're trying to keep ash out why is the top down?
I'm gonna have to revoke you convertible owners permit ....

From your comments I gather you've never driven a convertible of the highway during crappy weather. Above about 65 mph the air stream goes over the windshield and all the crap in the air goes all the way back to the trunk lid. However to stop crap sneaking in from the sides, the windows must be up! If you are caught with the top down in a big down pour, step on it and raise the windows. I learned that with my '68 Fury and I learned that it's manual windows didn't help at all. And that is why my '70 Fury has power windows!!

I appreciate the convertible owner lessons. I recently bought my first convertible and like the stories for me to take notes. I am in the resto process and have yet to drive it.

I did once. Got caught in a sudden downpour in my 69. The guys in the back were getting slammed with rain while we were staying mostly dry up front. However the water from the wipers was being pushed to the side and coming around the corners of the A and into the cabin. I kept going until I found an overpass to park under

My friend in the front passenger seat did roll his up and ducked under the dash as best he could.
Now were talkin. Whitewalls and a center grille emblem. Looks great!

Gorgeous car!
Showoff! 
Some of you may remember the baby blue vert that was for sale in Edmonton 2 years ago. @sauterd was interested I think. There was only one crappy picture on Kijiji and very little info. @Tobias74 called the guy and go figure he was an older fella who just didn't know much about marketing the car and turned out to be a real sweetheart of a car. @Tobias74 has more horseshoes.... but he also works hard to find these gems and give them new homes. I am just glad I get to see these beauties in person..
