Classic Looks, Timeless Appeal
Dressed in Silver Metallic over Buffalo Gray leather upholstery, this convertible exudes elegance and style. Though it bears the marks of time – a testament to its authenticity – with a dent and chipped paint on the hood, chip on the windshield, and other minor blemishes, these imperfections only add to its character.
