Ok. Here are a few answers to your questions:
This car is very much 012205 spotted by Perry113 who owns 012208. It was ordered in July 1965 with MBZ, Park Avenue 430 in NY by a Mr Quentin Berg, owner of the Berg Realty Co. in New Cumberland, PA. The purchase price was almost $7,000.00.
The car has been been maintained by Myers Oldsmobile in Lemoyne, PA. then Charlie Aschenbach's auto service in Steelton, PA, with invoices in the name of Mrs Frances Berg. The last service records are from Sun Motor cars in Lemoyne and, eventually, Camp Hill. The records cover the period 1965-1990 with the last one indicating 11575 miles.
The fuel log that came with the extensive document file shows every tank of gas purchased since new with dates, mileage, gallons, etc. Also, the service records show dates, mileage, etc and they reconcile to the fuel log details. From the dates and mileage, you can see that the car was not out on the roads during the winter.
According to the guy who sold me the car (and who it himself for less than 1 year) the car had been pampered by the owner. He used it for special occasions and not as a "driver". He serviced it regularly and used it sparingly. He had sheepskin seat cover on the seats for over 40 years to protect the seats. He bought a cloth car cover in 1965 and it was used it right up to the very last day he owned it. It was always garaged and covered and that is one of the reasons the car has survived intact.
I think this about covers it. Let me know if you have other questions or would like to see more pics. I'm happy to share.
