The color is Clipper Blue. What adds to the look of this car is the way the windows slide back and forth. The rims are minilite 10X6's with Falken tires.

I'm the 3rd owner since 1961. It was stored from 1985 til 2001 when the 2nd owner bought it. The plates are original since it was driven off the lot way back when.
