Folks, I went to see the Herald today -- http://hometown.aol.com/herald1200/database/67sp1250.htm) -- and I am amazed. This car is completely original, one-owner, all original receipts, invoices, manuals, and every repair receipt ever.
It's been garaged its whole life, and never driven in rain. There is definite age-patina, some paint chips, and a very small dent or two, but the paint and interior are original, even down to seeing the original colour under the car. The frame is immaculate, and I didn't see even surface-rust. The tires are even old bias-plys! In good shape, of course. The driver's seat has one seam separating, and the rest are fine; the cushion is a little lumpy. The brown carpet -- brown with blue? -- isn't perfect, but original to the car, and I wouldn't replace it. The convertible top is fine, if not perfect. I don't know if it's original, but it's the proper item and fits well. It starts-up and runs as if new. I drove it through all the gears, and everything works as it should. The brakes are new within 500miles. The parking brake even holds on a hill. The front brakes are drums, which is interesting, as the Canadian 12/50 was supposed to have disks. But they're original equipment to this car. As you can tell, I'm take taken with this Herald. Unfortunately I can't raise the cash at this time :( Someone who loves Heralds heeds this car.
