Yes, it's a rather rare model, with only 1,887 built. A friend of mine here
on Long Island, who is not on the list, has a low mileage burgundy sedan,
and the only other one I recall seeing was Carl Geffken's Forest Green car.
The interior of mine is light beige fabric with Chestnut vinyl bolsters.
It's a fairly low-option car, having air conditioning, power seats, and a
search-tune radio with power antenna. I'm not sure about any other options,
as I haven't brought the car home yet. It's still in Elizabethtown, PA, and
we'll be going to pick it up this coming Saturday. Pictures will be
forthcoming.
