Original everything!! About the only sign of age is a bit of mouse damage to the headliner and a small dent on the passenger front door. The car was never driven in the winter and was kept Sunday trips to town. When pulled from storage he put air in the origional tires, charged the battery, filled the tank and drove it about 400 miles to Calgary. Got to love that. Anyhow he brought it over this afternoon and I shot a bunch of pictures knowing you guys would like this one. <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited ]</span>

I wish I had a relative to leave me a car like that! How many miles/K are on the old girl? I can't read the odometer on the dash. Send your mailman to the dock sometime. He can get plenty of support for his new addiction/ eerrr hobby.

Nope, got it when his wife's grandfather passed away. It is a heck of a fine car, my pictures really don't do it justice. Its only got 76451 miles, hardly broke in.
I sure wish mine had a right mirror. I didn't even know they were available. I wonder if it's a Canada only thing. Might the engine color also be because it's Canadian-built? It does look really nice...I wish mine were as good. Thanks for sharing!

Don't know about the passenger side mirror, it looks to be an exact match to the driver side so I assume it was factory installed. The car was built in Windsor and apparently all motors out of that plant were red.
Yes the interior / exterior colors are an impressive fit. I must admit that when he told me he washed it up and gave it a wax job, I sure didn't expect it to look like that. When he pulled up in front of the house my first thought was "Holy Crap!!". Goes to show you just never know what someone will drag out of an old barn.
