Notes:
This was a family car that was passed on to a son who died last year.  His surviving brother inherited the car, and he donated it to our church.  He said that it has been kept in a garage for most of its life.  (It is sitting in our parking lot right now)

It does not appear to have ever been wrecked, and it was driven to our location by the previous owner.  The miles on it are original miles.  It currently has a Pennsylvania inspection sticker.

This car has new tires all the way around, and there is a new set of wide band white walls in the trunk.  Known problems with this car:
The knob that is pulled to un-latch the hood mechanism under the dash is missing (a pair of vise grips is needed to open the engine compartment)
The front passenger window has a crack in it.
The passenger side rear quarter panel has a rust spot about 2" x 3" long (easily repaired)
The owner says that the valves seem to stick from time to time (perhaps from not being run much)
The battery is weak.

I think a nice warm garage, some soap and water, and a nice wax job would bring this old baby to life.  We really don't know what these things are worth, but this is a pretty nice one.
