Taking Delivery-What Problems & Issues to Look Out For
It appears I will be taking delivery of my new '55 (at long last!) next week, or the following week at the latest. Based on your experiences, what potential issues and problems should I be looking for when I check over the car prior to delivery? Many thanks for your help.

Make sure the tank is full... I'll put my money down that you will not want to get out too soon

Congrats!
