the high school present car, that was taken away, and stored til the dad died... with only 5000 miles on it


Purchased by a North Dakota farmer for his daughter as a high school graduation present, it was taken away when the girl’s underwhelming academic performance returned her to the family farm after a brief stint in college. Carefully stored in the farmer’s barn, and forever off limits to his daughter, the car sat untouched until the man’s death in 1970. Then, the car had a mere 5,000 miles on the odometer; today, it’s racked up just 36,000 miles and is described as “entirely original,” down to the wood, chrome and carpeting.
