It's black with a tan interior. We've had to put a little work into it to get it to work. We've replaced the starter, the water pump, some hoses leading to the water pump, a vacuum hose, and some rings in the engine that keep oil in the right place. I'm forgetting their name. She's in OK condition now. Or I should describe it as, I feel like she is safe enough for my son to ride in around town.
We've noticed that she has the same quirk as every other Leganza that we've passed. The dashboard has popped up. She also has some interesting electrical features such as a cruse control button that presses and a light flashes, but then there's nothing!! I shouldn't divulge this since she's such a classy beauty, but the security system works in much the same way that the cruse control works. Well there is one exception... It has a red blinky LED. The dashboard works great for intended purpose though (Radar Support). The radio works, but there is no antenna which worries me a little through Appalachia. Luckily, the AC blows coldish air at you, which is truly a blessing. I'm not sure if I could make a 3000+ mile journey without those important features. The interior plastic has melted on the doors, the seats are hard as bricks, and the sun visors have fallen and hit us in the head one too many times, so we fixed that problem by removing them and buying old man sunglasses. The best feature is the exterior. Aside from a few minor dings and a whole lot of grime the paint is in good condition. I don't think she'll rust out on the journey. It may be made of plastic like many of the other essential components, but it's always good to look on the positive side about something. She is certainly classier than my first car. If you know someone who is looking for a first car or one that runs, we are excepting silent auction bids for the car at www.daewhoopteedoo.org. (Pending its return.)
Here are a few pictures to enjoy.
