VIN#: 0 446 729
COLOR: Pearl White (L87)
BACKGROUND: (as told by Marty) "Prior to a Germany
vacation in 1964, my grandparents arranged to purchase this 1500S sedan. They
picked the car up at the Frankfurt Airport on June 10, 1964. The purchase price
was $1,649 plus $79 for "US Specifications". They visited with their
families and friends in Zschorlau. At the end of their vacation, they had it
shipped to their home in Los Angeles, arriving September 25. Grandfather kept
it for 20-years and during that time, drove it about 75,000miles. It then passed
over to my uncle who also lived in that area. He put about 3,500 additional
miles on the car during the 22-years he had possession. It came to me July 2006.
It's very close to being a one owner car. You can see in the photos that I have
the original first aide kit, roadside emergency reflectors, tool kit and German
license plate. I also have the user guide, maintenance book, purchase and shipping
agreement and original 1964 yellow on black California license plates".
RESTORATION: The seat covers are new, the tires are the 3rd set, and
it has electronic ignition; otherwise, it is all original.
