Summary

Since then, the convertible has been in extremely well-kept condition, with TÜV and H license plate. Furthermore, an appraisal from 06/2023 attests to the vintage car's condition rating of 2. A Roadmaster convertible in this condition is hard to find today and is highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts.
