Next project with this car:

Nardi Steering Wheel ... Also have a 65 C Cab in California that's my everyday driver when out there on vacation. It's original and unrestored and needs a total restoration but it drives like a new car and never fails to get me where I'm going. It's my favorite old shoe, Irish Green/Blk.
