The wheels are fairly clean and there is no rust. The wheels would be a very easy clean-up. The peacock paint is perfect. The dark green roof has a few tiny edge chips. The paint is all original and has never been polished with any cleaners or auto polish. It is all original factory paint. This car is from my personal collection, so it had to be as perfect as possible. This car is in the Collector Category! The car has its original box which has done its job protecting the car over the years. Both box ends are open with no flaps. The box is included with the sale of the car.
