Note the upper blue section of the door trim, which is not original - added by last owner.   Usually the upper section is the same color as the bottom section.

Thanks to Doug Edwards, a different grille is now shown on the car, without a rotted out section in it, and with the Hillman "wings" emblem in the center.

Yes, there are seat belts only in the back seat - none in the front.  A owner installed set taken from a Ford.  NOTE: Look closely at the great condition of the area where the rear windows and top mechanism fold down.

This side of the car, in front, was badly damaged in an accident, but the owner restored the car by cutting off the front of the damaged fender and "stitching" on a new section donated by a Husky.

Top is practically new, in a color to compliment the side stripe and original wheel rim color.   The original top was actually a light blue to match the body color.

The only body rust found on the car is in the rear lower quarter panel on the driver's side - some perferation evident, but not major.

The grille that was on the car at time of purchase - and not the original.  Rust out on just one corner spoiled an otherwise good looking grille.

If you look very close, you can see the seam above the jumble of wires.  The seam is where the replacement fender section was added from a donor Husky.

The entire car, including the trunk, and engine compartment was resprayed in 1995.  While not "perfect" - looks good for a 43 year old car.
