The beast appears to be in very good condition! Always a blast to look over the engineering and innovation on some of the old luxury cars!!! Some of this stuff is really advanced for when the car was built... I love these big old luxo barges from the post war era. The guys were home from the war and starting to make some money, the big 3 hired the best stylists and engineers that were available, and competition among them was intense to get the buying public into their showrooms. Then Harley Earl came along and things really got good!!! What a great piece of history to bring back to life!!!!

This is what i have figured out so far from doing a partial inventory of the parts and knowing what i do about the history of the car. which sat for almost 25 years in pieces in a garage with a guy who had the body pieces sandblasted, and for 25 years before that it sat in the original owners garage parked. so it's been well stored at the very least and nothing i can note of importance has been lost which can easily happen when a car is disassembled. i do have one center cap but cannot verify that it came with the trim rings.
