How long you've had it? Only had it a month

Why this car? This was a rare model because the war had just ended, and they only had a limited production in 1946. I saw this car in a Chevy club magazine and bought it from a widow in Ohio who couldn't drive the car anymore.

What’s special about Woodward and/or the Dream Cruise for you? I've been a collector since 1966 and have had 16 different cars. It's a great hobby that I love. I've been coming to the Dream Cruise since it started 17 years ago.
