Well it took me a while to get back and take pictures but here they are. The car was last driven in the '80s and last licensed in '91. It's been inside since then. This would be an easy restoration. The body is in fantastic condition and the whole car appears complete. Looks to have a really old repaint.

I have no financila interest in the vehicle, just trying to help out a friend. Call Joel Pine at, 605-574-2524

I would like to find a barn like that one.
I hope the car finds a new home with someone who will keep it original.

Oh wow! That IS a nice original. Just a little elbow grease and she could be put back on the road in no time. I hope the person that may buy this, see's that and just cleans'er up.

Yep, the car is nice. Within an hour of my posting it was possibly sold to an individual in Texas. This person is driving up to South Dakota soon. If he dosen't take it, the owner has four more people who will buy it sight unseen.

Power top pump. The 41 convertible used a vacuum pump for the top.
