Why do you love this car? My father got this car in 1956. After his death, it was poorly stored for decades. I spent 5 years bringing it back to life. It one of only 435 produced in Jackson, MI. Production and sales began in 1953, making it the first American-built production sports car. It is fiberglass with sliding doors.
What is special about the Dream Cruise?: The Cruise is a great opportunity to see, and display, great cars.
