THIS IS A ONE OWNER, OWNED BY ARNIE REDEKER WHO WAS A FORD DEALER HERE IN GRAND HAVEN FOR 58 YEARS AND PURCHASED THIS BEAUTY FOR HIS WIFE ANNE. IT WAS HIS, AND PRESUMABLY HER, FAVORITE CAR. THE CAR WAS TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER PURCHASE AND ANNE DROVE A NEW ONE BUT THE CAR STAYED WITH THE FAMILY, ALWAYS STORED IN ARNIE'S AIRPLANE HANGER UNTIL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS MOVED TO A SECURED STORAGE FACILITY. ALWAYS GARAGED. ARNIE PASSED AWAY RECENTLY JUST FIVE DAYS BEFORE HIS 99TH BIRTHDAY AND THE ESTATE HAS DECIDED TO PUT THE CAR UP FOR SALE. THE CAR HAS ONLY 26,600 MILES ON IT AND, AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, HAS ALWAYS BEEN DEALER SERVICED. THE CAR AS YOU SEE IT WAS WASHED AND VACUUMED, NOT DETAILED, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING, THE CAR IS VERY SOLID. ORIGINAL PAINT IN NICE CONDITION, NO ACCIDENTS, 3 SMALL DOOR DINGS. NOT PERFECT BUT VERY NICE.

AFTER SITTING FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS IT STARTED RIGHT UP WITHOUT THE USE OF A JUMP BOX OR CABLES. THIS CAR IS VERY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT.
