Very nice! Was this the one on CL posted in Atchison, KS? I saw that one recently and seriously debated on calling about it but I am on machine restraint. Congrats!

It sounds like you got a great deal. When I used to sell cars we would put fabric softener sheets in the ash tray and under the seats. After the car had been detailed, to help get rid of the smokers odor. It seemed to work.

At the big "J" I used a 50% off coupon and for under $2.00 I can and did make several of the felt drip pans...very easy. It did get rid of that smell.

Yes, I think it was because we had to go to Atchison to get it.

Nice find! Yes, the pedal is original. I got one like it for $20 at a garage sale right down the road....very lucky, eh???

My case had the musty smell too so I put several cups of fresh coffee grounds inside and closed it for 6 months....small gone.

I'd rather smell coffee grounds instead of dryer sheets.
