Classic Car Overview

I've had this car for 13 years and I've done dozens of upgrades and repairs to this beauty. This car is mostly restored but it's not perfect.
The GOOD: The car runs really well (after it warms up), new tires, new carburetor, new ignition cylinder, recently painted, interior is in good shape, I replaced the vinyl upholstery 8 year ago, new dashboard cover, swing-away steering wheel works well, car radio has a cord that plugs into an iphone, new power steering motor, new radiator, replaced and repaired front steering, I replaced the trunk lining 8 years ago and it still looks decent. I replaced all the interior dashboard lights with LED's 7 years ago and the dash looks great at night. Refurbished steering wheel, re-chromed interior trim pieces, restored hubcaps, new wiper washer bag, new wipers, and many more improvements too numerous to list.
The BAD: driver window works but is slow, passenger window does not work, A/C does not work (but I have a new compressor mounted in the engine bay), vacuum locks partially work but are slow, some minor leaks and drips from the power steering reservoir, odometer does not work but I would guess the car has 175k+ miles. The new carb could use some adjustment but that is too tricky for me. Like I said, it runs beautifully after it has warmed up. On a cold morning, it takes about 10 minutes to warm up. Also the car is not super quiet. My mechanic thinks I need to replace the gasket on the exhaust manifold (not a huge job but will definitely make the car a little quieter).

I have been working on this car and done a lot of repairs and upgrades over the last 10 years but it's almost 60 years old and as you may know, vintage cars are a continuous labor of love. Overall, the car runs well and shows well. I get thumbs up from old and young people every time I drive it but it's time to pass this gorgeous car on to someone new.
