    Just looked at this add. In one picture it looks red. In others, it looks orange. The headers look correct for a 7X but the head bolts don't. The rear springs may be in trouble as well. The hubcaps are not '54. Also the first time I've seen black air cleaners. OK, I'm done 9for now!).

    Vin number is not listed, so I do not know if it belongs to HET Member. FYI, 7X had split manifold, not headers.

    I wish there would have more pics. From the interior, and most of all, underneath to see the subframe, etc. And the engine bay and in the trunk too. But it seems to make it's way to a higher price ( already at 31k after 2 days). Maybe the bidders already know the car. I dream of buying a convertible sometimes, but that day seems soooo far way.... But I'm happy for those who can afford one...or many...Michel

    There's been a red 54 Convertible which has been on ebay before from California. It's been a year or more since I remember the ad...and can't find any prior posts about it on here.
    Just saying it may be the same car from before (I want to say it never met the reserve)

    floresant lights will change the color. Steering wheel looks like it has been painted.
