1959 c 1
Hello Folks,
I recently purchased a all original 1959 C 1. It has all the parts and was last registered in 1979. I will give it a face lift and make it look like new again. I am hoping I can get a lot of good advice fro those of you who have been there and done that.
Thanks and I am looking forward to chatting soon. Just got it in the shop yesterday. J59S107364:
