Thanks for the compliments everyone. Restoring them has been my passion/sickness for decades.

Jack,
I bought the car from the original owner. It spent its whole life in the Pasadena area and those are its original plates. I have every piece of documentation for the car from the receipt for deposit, dealer invoice, window sticker, POP AND the original application for license with that plate number. Since it still has the seller dealer license frames, I put the Ca. plates on it. I have YOM plates for Wa. but I haven't been hasselled about running the Ca. plates, yet, but I have a "story" all prepared in case I get pulled over.

Lucky you...

Although I did get some of the Paperwork/warranty book/POP, 'not from OO but from someone back east', the best part, 'for me' was meeting the OO of my car...shortly after i restored the car...

Beeeautiful! You must be very proud, and talented. By the way, who supplied the carpet and seat covers?

That's a great looking car Jim, and it was a pleasure speaking with you a couple weeks back about the car.
