From edmunds.com:
A 1955 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Convertible that once belonged to author Ernest Hemingway is being restored by a museum located at his former home near Havana. Actor David Soul is helping with the restoration, which is being captured for a documentary film.

What happened to the car after Hemingway’s death reads like a novel. His driver hid it for a time; then the New Yorker ended up with the author’s doctor and his family for a number of years. After that it passed through several other owners and disappeared. In 2010, rusted and topless, the car re-emerged, its authenticity apparently verified by information on an insurance certificate in Hemingway’s name.
