I've never seen a two door sedan, only two door coupe. Interesting to see the back seat in the picture. Can you imagine buying a NEW car for less than $600?

Adjusting for inflation that's about $11,600. Can you imagine buying a new car for less than $12,000 today?

Right? I love that old history. He had every receipt for every car his grandfather ever owned. Ed is a retired FAA inspector. I don't know what his grandfather did for a living but the attention to detail must run in their genes! LOL

What is a "Motometer"? I suspect when we learn what that is, we will also understand why it has a cap...
