I will have to try to visit AOW and check this out.

Be nice to see some detail pics!

Are the colors Light Blue and Skylight Blue actually the same?

Skylight Blue would have been the 'official' color name.

Here's a link with a couple more pics (interior and engine):

I thought I included that link but guess I didn't.  Thanks for adding it.

The Historic Vehicle Association research center is in Allentown too so I wonder if they documented the car?

I guess the bypass hose has been replaced (not painted black with the block)?

I understand the hinges are supposed to be painted black yet the hinge springs seem to be rusty? I can only assume they were assembled then painted together, but curious how they rusted up over time and yet the air cleaner decal is still present and lasted. 

Is there any rhyme or reason as to what cars came equipped with the down draft tube/ closed valve covers? My June 64' coupe has the downdraft pipe and front timing cover oil fill.

I'd like to spend an hour with that car getting pictures, it was built later than mine (based on VIN), but should be close enough for a good reference.
