Powering the Series 60 was an overhead valve eight-cylinder engine displacing 320.2 cubic-inch and offered 165 horsepower. The engine was mated to a 3-speed sliding gear transmission with column controls. Hydraulic brakes could be found on all four corners.

This particular example is one of just 1,229 Sedanette Fastback models produced on the Century line. It is finished in two-tone Taupe over Maroon exterior, with a correct gray cloth interior. It has the original radio, heater, clock in glove box door, rear fender skirts, and a full spare with a jack.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2017
