Owner's Comments
The car was assembled
on 5/22/63 and shipped from the factory to it's first owner in West
Virginia. The second owner lived in Tennessee and relocated to Michigan
where he did a large portion of the restoration through the 1980's
and '90's. This was inclusive of paint, new top, new seats and carpet,
found an original radio, the radiator was redone and I know the
frame was welded. As he recently passed away, the car was sold to
me through a broker. I've had to do very little to the car other
than minor maintenance as the car seems to have been sitting for
a few years. With 147,000 miles, the car is very roadworthy and
handles and runs great (other than a overheating problem I hope
to have corrected with a 160 degree thermostat and fresh coolant).
I've been able to secure manuals for this model on the internet
and would be happy to share this information if anyone is in need
of it (via fax, email, etc.). I've also been able to find promotional
items such as advertisements and sales brochures on ebay. I've noticed
stuff for many different models there. Feel free to contact me at
my email address. |
