If you recall my posts from December, I recently bought my first 544. It is a twin to the one my father bought new in 1965. My purchase prompted an interest in him to find his. Through some detective work on his part, he tracked it down and talked to the current owner this past Sunday. It is still in Rhode Island, where we lived when it was sold around 1972. The good news is that it's in great shape. It has been garaged all these years. The orginal paint has yet to be covered by a repaint. The bad news? they waited for years for the previous owner to sell so now they don't want to let it go, even to the orginal owner. If you look at the photos you can see that they are twins as they are even the same color. It would have been great to have a matching set in the family. If they ever change their minds..........
