Seeing as most here like pics~
Hard to believe that 16 years have passed since my friend Eddie took possession of his '59. Remember seeing both of them in Pittsburgh? Borrowed shot:
As an original survivor, it has 58k miles clocked with only 5k coming in this, the fourth owner's possession. (Only second on title however.) I told Eddie 12-13 years ago if/when the time ever came to part ways that I'd find it a good home.
That time came a few months back.
3 interested parties were immediately put in contact before any sale became public. The 1st made an earnest and fair offer, matching the amount Eddie would like to have seen for his coach. The 2nd and 3rd however both came in over that amount (knowing if it hit eBay the price would be substantially higher) and were each close to the other. One of them had been looking for a quality '59 since the late '90s. One of them would display (probably after restoring) in a museum that is currently under construction.
Eddie ultimately chose the home where it will see use.
Enjoy some memories over the last 16 years.
Eddie's health caused the Victoria to sit in storage for the last couple years.
