I don't know who owns it, but it needs some brake adjustment. Just before the pier's edge only the right rear locks up.

Trivia question. How do you determine that the car is a 60 and not a 59?

You can't! I read it in a blurb about the movie.

You're not telling me that you can see the stitching on the seats in that clip are you?

However, the one thing in the clip that helps identify it as a 60 is the color of the wheels. They match the exterior color. All 59s were black.

Been doing a lot of research on my 59.

There were nice girly things on the passenger seat, could not see the stiching even if I was trying to look.
