Location: bishop, ca | From the car's seller's provided information, it is clear that he does not know or understand (fully)
what it is that he is trying to sell.
It is interesting that the car's asking price is not too high, for the car's as-is resale value.
Custom Royal 4-door sedan interiors are very expensive to replace, owing to the various cloths and components
that are both required, and rare in its restoration.
The body panel openings and alignments bode well for the physical ease of restoration, though.
No radio in a CR sedan? That's rare, right-there.
Seller states that its got P/steering (but manual brakes).
Whoever ordered this car (intra-factory, or by owner's special order....knew precisely what they wanted, in this car,
right-on-down to its single-color, in Black, and no radio.
It is Hard to imagine this car's "curb appeal", to the passing-by Prospects (as they were called, then) while this car might have been
residing, patiently, on its new-car sales lot.
May be Projecting, here, but its first owner probably was not regarded as being a Fun Guy, or a Party Animal
[a :"Square-John", most likely].
But, he (and its subsequent owners...) DID take relatively good care of this expensive-model car!
