It was on the lot in the basement of the dealership building. Dad made the deal and we went down an elevator to where the car was to see it for the first time ! I drove it out of the building . It ran out of gas a block from the dealership , and when we hit the expressway and could feel every expansion joint on the concrete. Dad was not happy ! LOL He rarely drove the car, although that night , when we brought it home , and all the neighbors came out to see the new car, we heard the 4 BBL open on a nearby street when Dad took the car for a short drive. He brought it back and parked it ! LOL He did say that one time in Maine he let it roll and he was very impressed. Years later after I repainted it and gave it back to Mom, he would take people out to the garage and brag about his car ! LOL
