It seems to be sitting really low in the back as if it has a heavy load, but it's empty back there. Is this the normal stance for this car?
I moved into a new house over the weekend, with my '66 220 at one end of the street, sure enough at the other end, under a car cover I spied an 1800ES. It's a small world after all.
