It is a tough car that has a thick steel body, and has secondary suspension blocks, which would allow you to drive for a long distance with over a ton in the car while the suspension is sitting on its end stops. The seats where high with an upright position, which made it much easier for elderly people to get in, and out of the car. There was an out of date styling with a standard finish.
The steering gear had a large amount of back lash, it also is very hard to turn the car. The paint work usually did not match the standard colors well. By the way this car has been repainted white with blue stripe's on both sides of the car, also the vents are painted blue.
