Finished in a beautiful two-tone Cream with Burgundy, this roadster shows extremely well. There is a contrasting pin-striping that is carried throughout the exterior that tastefully breaks up the colors.

Inside, the Burgundy vinyl front bucket seats have an excellent period appearance. The Burgundy door panels and wood dashboard are a continuation of the striking interior of the car and looks fantastic. The matching carpet is used tastefully to protect the entire roomy interior. All the Classic Instrument gauges are correctly placed, have a period appearance and function as designed. The Grant GT style 3 spoke steering wheel and AudioVox AM/FM are in great condition. There is a brass plaque mounted on the dash from CMC to the original owners that’s a nice personal touch that completes the interior.
