Although it’s a multiple show winner, it’s not a trailer queen. There’s a chip here and there and it’s not a perfect 100-point car. I drive it every week. It’s not a drag car or road racer, it’s a cruiser. Not fast but very reliable a have driven it decent distances to shows. Never trailered. Nice glass, chrome and stainless.
