Body is RQ3053 eng. #R2876 Built 5/6/63. Car now has 60,000 orig. miles. Delivered new to Alhambra, CA. I bought it in Altadena, CA from 2nd owner Stuart N.Hoven in Nov.1989. It has been driven 10 miles since then. It has been stored in So. Calif. until 2002 when I trailered it home to Ferndale, WA. An interesting thing about this car, is that it has a Calif. title showing vin# (serial) #R4275B but the orig. serial #plate is stamped R-4275A. I think it was sold as a 1964 as the "model" shows "SED64R" though it is reg. as year 1963 which might explain why the dealer added the "A" to the serial # plate, but it never got on the title correctly.
