The exterior has been preserved using Zymol products. The leather interior has been cleaned and preserved using Lexol products. \n\n The car has lived it\u2019s entire life stored in a climate controlled garage, covered with a soft cotton car cover. \n\n The car has never been driven in snow or salt and only saw rain if an unsuspected shower occurred while I had it out. \n\nThank you all for participating and feel free to reach out with specific questions. \n\nHappy bidding!", "likes": 9, "timestamp": 1664586926, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9666704, "authorName": "ShamrockRally", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/shamrockrally/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@Love2Cruz really enjoyed gathering all the henna cars at those events.
