USED CAR AD: This car is a classic. It has a unique body which can be transformed from a covered-top to a convertible in no time flat. The wheels are very easy to change and are extremely light weight. There are very few things which can go wrong with this vehicle. It is easy to drive and has very few miles on it. The seats are very comfortable and the interior is bright and easy to clean. Only the rich could afford it before, but now, it is affordable to all. Come down and take it for a drive; I promise, you'll like what you see in this antique vehicle.
