A Drop-Dead Beautiful Visi in Visalia..

Here is a beautifully-done '56 Visicoach. Modern Diesel Engine, Allison Auto Trans, obviously in excellent condition, always garaged. The only possible reason not to jump on this one is if the price is too steep at $55,000.

That's not a dent! - It's light reflection!
