I was given this 1954 Light 15 in 2005 after having resurrected the owner's 1948 Light 15 but there was a slight catch. It was in a barn in Quebec, up on the second floor since 1976 after having been imported from Botswana. The ramp had rotted away leaving the car isolated. She said, "If you can get the car out of the barn, it's yours." Mice made it home, the paint was falling off, but there was no rust at all. I had a bridge built, the car hauled out and five years later, this is what it looks like. Recent paint, new chrome, new leather, all mechanicals rebuilt. What's not to like?
