Awesome story Steve, and a tough act to follow. Sounds like your car has
some sentimental value as well! Very unique combo of options, and I totally respect your decision to include the dealer installed hood pins during the resto...hey, it's how Pap would have wanted it. Do you happen to know which dealership Grandma picked it up at? Perhaps Reedman, maybe Roger Penske? I'd love to see some pics of the car, especially if you have any "before" photos. Don't ever sell that one, hopefully someday your children will want to inherit it.
