I paid $3250 for my 1958 Lebaron last summer, and think it is the best
investment I have made in a very long time. My first car in 1971 was a '58
imp, and having that feeling back after 30 years is priceless. Not to
mention this one is almost identical (except the "new" one has a flightsweep
deck lid) and is much better contition being a 1 owner vehicle.
P.S. I have 3 of those plastic skateboards too, none of which I really
consider cars even though they cost 8 times as much as the '58.
