Video of the 62
Ok here is a video of the 62 barn find. It's got a new starter, water pump, radiator, all new brake system and tank of Avgas and she runs pretty good. Still alot of work to do but it's moving on it's own power for the 1st time in 40 years.

After watching your video it reminded me of when I bought mine in 1971 also fom RI.
Both cars had trailer hitches I wonder if they towed a small boat being close to the ocean.
The other option they both have/had is that hole in the center of the hood.
I still have one of those oil change stickers from the door jam of my car, I removed it years ago and stuck it into a parts book that I have.
Just wondering what garage & city yours is from.
What a nice car to restore if you choose to do so, it seems to be complete.
Good luck & enjoy.

Looks like a pretty solid car from what i can see.
A LOT easier restoring a good car, than a kluge, and a lot less stress and unexpected expenses. Some paint, chrome, dash pad, upholstery,and top,and it'll be like brand new.
Have fun, with a clean car like this, this is really a journey you can take a step at a time, rather than having to do everything at once, if you want to do it that way.
