    A wonderful example of a preserved California car. It's sad to see that the few original cars that are left are leaving California. I hope the new owner realizes what he/she has and preserves the car as much as possible.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
