Yes, Al got the car right but the country wrong.
This car was owned by a single meticulous engineer in Quebec for fully 50 years, before I bought it from him based on his lead ad in Jim's Vintage Microcar News magazine in September of 2014.
Many problems with an unethical shipper who decided that he was no longer interested in delivering it to Los Angeles AFTER he had picked it up and moved it a couple of hundred miles, became a source of almost unmanageable complications and significant stress for the last one and a half years of my life.
Getting the Canadian Police involved in what is typically considered to be a civil matter was more helpful from afar than I have experienced in my own environs. But dealing with this stubborn unethical shipper, and several different US border agents with their own bones to pick added another year of stress and complication, and couple of thousand dollars more to my burden.
However unethical, difficult and expensive my troubled path, the shipper's crate and carefulness was apparently up to snuff. No damages were to be found from the prolonged storage that his reversal of commitment created, or shipping in the well built crate.
Although today I did find a glued back together glass tail light disc type lens. Does Richard have one to sell?
