I wonder if there are any of these in the Villages? This car plays a big part, so far, in David Baldacci's new Archer book "A Gambling Man".

Harrah's Car Collection had one of these as a person on a Facebook board's now ex-husband had done upholstery work on it. This was in Reno, Nevada. I would have seen it probably as we visited there rather often when relatives were visiting us in Reno.

I'd love to see one of those at the monthly cruise nite in Spanish Springs.

Sounds like a fine wine.

I suppose the insurance on one of those and the upkeep would be extremely high.

Had a Doggie Doo Run Run friend who loved old Jaguars and he had had a lot of troubles finding parts.

Wow, awesome!

Does it even fit in a normal parking space? It's HUGE!!!

Yeah......nice...... but can it make a U-TURN ?

Just looks huge. It' 31 inches shorter than the 1959 Olds Ninety Eight.

How can you turn the front wheels for steering, it appears they will hit the wheel covers?

Now THAT’S what you call a classic roadster!

Google search says the wheel base is 126 inches and overall length is 192 inches. For reference a Ford Explorer is 198.8 inches long, so, not as long as it appears in the photo.
