I'll bet there were a lot of guys that were able to buy cars like that back when industry was booming all along the banks of the Mon river. Like most mid-west industrial towns, Pittsburgh (and surrounding area) was full of hot rodders back in those days. Most of those cars didn't survive the abuse and the salt-covered roads in western PA winters.

Man, I have the perfect early take off unrestored intake for that car with the right patina. It even has the original over spray and all. The intake is MINT!!
