First one of those I've seen and I work with the 300 cars from the 50s. As far as I knew there was the 4d sedan, 1000ish 2d coupes, and 50ish 2d convertables. I don't think thats a 300, not enough wood on the dash. Very nice car that I wouldn't mind owning.

What, it won't last 1,000,000 miles?

Seriously though, that's one beautiful car. If only I had the money and the heated warehouse...

Am I missing something though - they say it's a 4 door convertible, but don't show any shots with the top down?

It might take 30 minutes to deconstruct the soft top. Still, it's worth it for the shot.
