Oh, come on. He did mention the restoration of the stock am radio with the tube front end and transistor amplifier and stock antenna so not totally ot :). Though he said there were no modifications, I think I saw a speaker grill on the passenger kick panel that would not have been original. This was not uncommon back in the days of AM as then AM had some good stations still for music. If he wanted he could kick it up a notch by finding and adding the optional reverb, a VERY scarce oem option and maybe a Sears aftermarket 45 rpm record player.
I was not really interested until I saw the Nixon in '60 sticker. In 1960 as a high school student I was THE ONLY student in my class promoting the Republican cause all others were pro Kennedy as he was just 1 State down in Mass. I proudly walked around with my Barry Goldwater badge and for some years after whenever the presidential choices are poor still write his name in to protest what we have.
I remember those 6-cyl engines well, shoot them, bomb them, torpedo then and they just kept running. I do dispute his allegation that the doors sound solid. His as every one I ever heard from that period other than the Lincolns and Caddies rattled and shook as if something forgot to be screwed down. I do wish makers today would design those windows into the current crop of sw*ll so we did not have to send extra on periscopes and rear facing cameras.
