Pete your taste in cars is impeccable! Did you buy it restored or do it yourself?

This car is real nice number "3". It came from West Bend WI. rarely driven in winter and grandson is who I purchased it from. It has 47k miles, one enamel repaint decades ago and is an "Deluxe" model. Most were not rust proofed so findind a nice one is difficult. Mine was taken to a media blaster who pulled bumpers and did back of them, suspension etc and painted chasis black.
I don't like Leno's because it's now a rear wheel drive car. I don't understand why he would do that.

If EVER convert, that shall be the culprit.....lovely, absolutely subliminal in every way.
I do.
When the Toronado was introduced, there was a lot of fanfare and comparing it to the Cord for its front drive and its unconventional looks. It was the first FWD American car in 30 years.
To me, that is half the character of the car.
Leno has the $$ to do the car up right... and if he wanted to do a modern engine, he could still keep the FWD system and have a really cool car.

Funny; when I read the title of this post, I was sure Stan was selling a lawn mower.

My lawn mower is called a Pedro. They say it's illegal to sell them.
Or bitching about reduction in quality of Toro lawnmowers over the years ... " they just don't build them to last anymore ... "
LOL

Yes, they need to be checked to see if they are leaking into the truck and rusting from the inside out. My car has the original trunk mat. At the Olds Nationals last year one guy told me he has seen only one other car with the original mat. They were never reproduced as well as the unique front pass. floor mat. And drivers side front is huge mat with stainless trim cut out of the main carpet then insert of ribbed vinyl.
