Not mine, but I've observed this one sitting and rotting for the past year in a driveway in Sunnyvale CA. Looks like a 62-64 to me. Interior looks even worse.

It's a 63. No crest hood which stopped in 62 and 64 was the first year of the bigger license plate light. |

That car has been there FOREVER. I grew up in that area. I believe it's an early 64. The early 64s still had the small license plate light but a different stamping on the deck lid than the 58-63 deck lids, and they had the peanut turn signals in the same location as 58-63. The hood crest continued into the beginning of the 63 model year. I don't know the dates for the changes, but all of this has been covered here in the forum. |

Why is it still there? Let me guess, the owner does not want to sell it, and says they are going to restore it some day? _________________ WANTED: Henry Veale Santa Rosa plate frames

Thought I'd throw up a more recent pic of mine. This was the first time I drove the car.
