My new ‘64 Crown Coupe

Paradise... except for the weather... crime rates... well you know.. focus on the small victories.

I have no problem with either of those. Surrounded by fresh water, minimal threat of drought, extreme weather, uncontrollable ground fires etc.. this truly is m kind of paradise.

Not really, it was offered up to a very limited group and I guess I was the one fortunate enough to see it first and snap it up. The gentleman that I got it from was very generous and really stoked that it was going to someone who really appreciated it and I’m honored to be the one to make sure that it will see the road again.
It looks like Phil Rauch sold/leased it to a leasing company in Burbank for almost a year before selling it to L.W. Rosine in December of ‘64.
I have pretty complete service records for it including a new trans at 94K miles in December of ‘68.

94k in 4 years during the 60s is impressive. Thats slappin down the miles at more than todays averages.

I like the full frame shot. Really looks nice in the back, underside.
What a score! I knew California was good for something.
