        The original headliner is still present , the body is not a total rust bucket, it hasn't been hot rodded, it isn't listed @ 20K starting price. All of these things are unusual now days!

          In the add seller states there is no rust. That is unusual as what is that in the photos that appears to look like rust. It does have bench seat bottom with reclining backs. Could that be unusual? jimmijim

              Gee I don't know, a Early Flathead 6, Manual Choke, Truck Carb., holes in the upper rear roof section for the Air Spoilers that were removed, 2 twisted bumpers?

              OH, Oh, oh! ask ME teacher! I think I've GOT it!

              It has some kind of weird Heater hose setup, the Heater is bi-passed, one Heater Core Hose is disconnected, the "Y" sends the Hot water back to the Engine to the Radiator, but the other 2 hoses go to unknown places, one goes forward out of sight maybe to a Cooling System FILTER? Who Knows!

                  It has a full width bench seat, but with seat back recliners.

                  It was featured on BaT for $6k and didn't sell...

                    Actually, it is not that unusual to have reclining Seats without the Individual bottom Cushion Option, all possible combinations were available except a Solid Bottom and Back in a 2 Door.

                      The reclining seat option was what I thought was unusual, especially for a lower line car with little optional equipment. What really got me though was the reclining solid back. I know it was offered, but I had never seen one.
                      I knew this car had been mentioned before, but I must have been searching wrong because I couldn't find it. I even went back through several days of posts.

                        My old '63 Daytona Skytop had reclining backs but solid cushion. Now that I really think about it, I'm not sure I ever saw that on another Stude.

                        My old '64 was far-less 'equipped' than my '63 was--only had 259, Flightomatic, wheelcovers, and whitewalls, all-vinyl trim, but had the individual seats up front with recliners. It was a Hamilton car, BTW.

                            Yes, I edited that. Sometimes Dad gets carried away with punctuation.

                            I read it to read just like you did. But then I read it slower and it came together.
