Although not advertized as a Coronado, this car appears to be a well preserved and quite rare color code 434 55 Coronado.

Mac,

Here's another Coronado with the equally rare paint scheme of turquoise body, white top and black sweep:

Yet another rare Coronado, this one appears to have had its top repainted at some point in life: http://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/2901475988.html

"Rare 1955 Coronado" seems to be an oxymoron, yet this last one seems to be a great deal. Of course you'd need to crawl around underneath it to make sure there is any metal left in it.

Have a nice day
Steve

Not to mention the ultra-rare power door lock option.

If you guys are going to spell check and fact check Craigslist ads, be prepared to be very busy. Meanwhile, look closely at the picture of the Dallas car...it appears to be a factory air car.

Here's another one. Apparently the snow comes early in NM. This one is the seldom seen black body, white sweep and aqua roof.
