This car is the only one on this site that is known to still be in the hands of its original owner's family!
The owner talked to someone at one point who knew some history on the car that had been hidden for over 55 years. He found out he wasn't technically the first owner of the car. This man was the friend of a man who bought the car new, was arrested for bank robbery three days later, and had the car taken back by the dealer.
