Came across this on my recent visit to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Thought it was pretty neat. (Everett or whoever is in charge of this site now, please feel free to move to appropriate forum if posted in the wrong place.)

Looks to be maybe a 1965 model?
Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Yes it was sitting out on the street right outside the museum shop. One of the employees was standing out there and mentioned to me that they were having trouble finding parts. I told them to browse the classifieds here as well as check out cip1.ca if they don't want to have to import parts from US.

Yes 1965, according to the museum employees.

Replacement bumper maybe? I assume that's the original rear bumper in the info printout attached to the window.

I think the original one was a 63 but they restored a 65 to represent it in the museum.
