What can be said except that this car is outstanding. This car was built prior to 1942 as it has its chrome in chrome plating. After January 1st 1942 the chrome parts were painted over usually in grey. Would love to park this with my pre'42 Pontiac. What a beauty!

The car is a rare one. Only 2489 of these were built before GM went totally to war production in early February of 1942.
