PV is "next door" to Scottsdale, north east of Phoenix. They do get "monsoons" during the year.

CARFAX shows no accidents on the vehicle

Obviously CARFAX does not know about this!

My dad had a '65 Lincoln Convertible. Maroon over white with a black top.
That was one heavy car.

this is a good example of a car converted from a hard top to a convertible

I don't care for convertibles that look like that with the top just setting on the back. Not very sleek. I realize that it is a conversion, thus limitations, but to me...yuck. I miss the 1965 T-Bird convertible that I had. 5600 pound

1963 is my favorite year of the Continental. I like the rounded corner on the rear door glass and overall I think that the 61-63's look more sleek than the 64-69's.
My dad had a '67 sedan. What a monster! That is when ride was based on inertia.....it takes lot to move a heavy car from its path.

Here is a 'humble' convertible sedan. A very good friend of mine is a die hard Merc guy until talk Packard. He always says, "there is Packard and Mercedes, and then there is everything else".

At least it looks like it was done well and professional and not some redneck with a sawzall and some torches
