Wrong upholstery (but looks nice) wrong hood ornament but it does look very nice.  My concern is that, if the drip tickets are correct for service history, nothing's been done to the car since 1960.  Low Mileage sure (especially if the seller certifies it) but consider condition of rubber parts and other components that have not been "exercised" in ?? years.

I may have to go for a look. No, that upholstery cannot be original but the car looks nice.

The hood ornament is a very common Western Auto aftermarket accessory. I see a lot of them on the 47 and 48 cars.

Pretty neat but I am not sure it sells for $11,000.  $11,000 buys a lot of neat old car these days, like that 53 2 door on here now for $7900. 
No old cars owned.
