When does a low-mileage original classic car cross the line between “Survivor” and “Preserved?”  Often times we ourselves get caught up on whether to label a car as a true survivor or a classic that has been thoughtfully preserved with minor upgrades here and there.  This yellow 1959 Dodge Custom Sierra Wagon, last seen for sale in May 2023 in North Saanich, Washington (Seattle), is a prime example.  While the car features only 64,000 original miles, the seller notes how they upgraded the front brakes from the original drum style to discs. Additionally, they replaced the carpet on what is otherwise an all-original interior.
