I drove one when new, and was impressed by its handling. By the way, this one was owned by the Pettit family of Natural Bridge, Va. They had a Chrysler/Imperial dealership. They also owned an old car museum there for many years, and had a V-16 Cadillac, Cord, and the last Duesenberg built, registered as a 1940 model.
