I live about 30 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico which is why I haven't been able to start it.
Did "tooter" have a different definition back then?Quote:

I'm surprised it lasted 60yrs in La climate. Must have been an indoor car.Quote:

The front floor pans are rusted through in some spots but everything from basically back of the front seat is still solid.Quote:

What it doesn't have is any of the seats or carpeting, the steering wheel is a bit busted up, the gas pedal broke off, and the top of the dash is cracking really bad.

We had an old Rambler in the 1960s. The holes in the floor let us watch the road move beneath us back then. Maybe half the width of a pea, like screw holes.
That's quite practical. That way, when you spill your drink, you won't have to worry about soaking it up later. Also, to clean the car out afterwards, you can just use a hose.
