Dennis:

The car suffered very little damage between the pillars. It appears that the ends of the car were well designed to absorb impact. It is just unfortunate that the bumpers and grille parts are so expensive now. Otherwise, we might have considered having the body damage repaired.

That 544 was in pretty bad shape when purchased. There were still a lot of things in need of attention. I did get to drive the car with the overdrive installed for a couple of days. It was no problem crusing at 80 to 85 mph. Maybe this was fates way of stopping us before something more catastrophic occured. Speed capacity seemed to be taking precedence over brake system, suspension and steering restoration.

Best regards,

Joe M
