The car is going to get a new carpet - door rubbers and window seals. It has a cowl hood on it now with fresh base-clear paint that does not match the " patina " that the rest of the car has so I am going to redo it to match.I am looking for a nice set of original front bumper guards that I think will add to the overall look of the car.

Cool! It will look better with the hood matching. Did the original hood come with the car?
Hope the previous owner didn't drill the fenders to install the SS emblems, but the car is a beautiful thing either way. Hope you have many happy cruising miles in it.
General question: I guess I've never had an old car with non-rusty floors in it. Were they all painted red oxide primer on the top side like that? Is there a difference between Canadian and US production?

All the emblems are stick on.No holes drilled.
As far as I know they were all red oxide top and bottom.I think if I washed all the oil off the bottom of this wagon it would look the same as the inside.
Great that there were no holes drilled in case you want to put it back to stock.
Thanks for the info on the primer. Perhaps the entire body shell was dunked in an Ecoat tank prior to colour coating? That's the way it is done now, but I don't know how GM did it back in the day.
I love discussions like this as to how they were built, so thanks and congrats again. I am green with envy...
