    My dad Lance just had his 74th birthday on February 12th 2015. I bought this car from the ORIGINAL owner Jim who is 82 years young.. Jim bought this car new 50 years ago on a European Delivery. It is a very late 1965 C coupe black plate California car, one of the last 356's. I gave this car to my DAD for his 74th birthday last Thursday. He is driving the WHEELS off of it... My dad is the man standing closest to the front tire. Jim is the other man in the picture. Happy Birthday Dad. I Love You. Andy
