Congratulations Gary! I cannot imagine that it looked any finer when it came off the assembly line. Wow, I love the shine of that chrome on the back. As we discovered, there are too few articles having been written about this car. Now you can make your own article. I'm very happy for you.

Default Are those dual rear antennas stock?

Are those dual rear antennas stock? I only know a little bit about that car, but I don't recall ever seeing those before. In my youth, my Dad had a '56 premier two door and a '58 four door. I think both cars served him well, but in those days he traded in every two years regardless. The top that's currently on it looks ok except for the wrinkle in the left rear... I'd get some use out it before changing which you can do anytime. That car is one that I have always drooled ovoer and have kept an eye open to acquire, but I now have two collector cars and adding a third is hard to justify, especially one that I know must have cost you at least $50K.
