The real story here is the short history of this car. The Series 70 debuted in 1939 however production ended for all regular domestic vehicle production in 1941 to switch over to wartime production. Cars like this were used up as there was nothing to replace it with. Of the old cars in my collection, this one really drives almost like a modern car. It lacks synchromesh- meaning the transmission requires you to come to a full stop to put the car in 1st gear...that took a while to figure out. There are also a few knobs for the climate control I have not figured out yet. However- the rear suicide doors are very cool.
