    Just knocked the dust off it with a hose. Couldn't stand the dust...LOL. Amazing enough it has no leaks under it. Move it out of the garage and a nice dry floor.

    The tire is orginal G78/14 firestone. IT was on the front of the car due to a valve stem leak on the front orginal rim. Repaired the valve stem and put it back in the trunk before car was driven home.

    Leave the car just the way it is. If the tires are old, which I'm sure they are, replace em with whitewall radials. The car is a time capsule, and I'd keep it looking that way.

    This should be listed under "Cars for Sale" and not here on "The Bench". Please make a for sale post in the proper forum.

    A bit of grace was lost in the generations between those who bought a car for their grandson and stored it for decades and the grandson who couldn't see the value in the gift.

    Love time capsule cars like that. They are getting fewer and further between these days. Excuse me for asking but is there a dent in the drivers door towards the front? Probably just the light but it looks odd at the front of the door. Thanks for sharing the car. You just can't beat original.
