Congratulations, Kevin. What a wonderful car and story to go with it. Those are some cool beans!
You're a fortunate young fella with a promising future in the hobby; go out and recruit about a million more young people like yourself, OK?
Really great coverage by both publications, too. What a credit to you and the car and your grandpa. All the best to all of you.

I wonder where they came up with the statement that they only made 4 doors.

Well that was a nice read!
Brought back some great memories when they writer was talking about the acceleration, the floating ride on those soft couch like seats, and the BRAKES.
When I was 15 my first car was a 59 VW I stared at, loved, fixed up, and drove around the yard until I was 16 and could get my licence.
But after 3 months I purchased a 1937 Desoto Coupe.......I was in heaven when I drove that car. It was 1968 and my friends all had mid to late 50's cars and the rich kids had new Chevelles & Vettes. So my 37 did sand out in the school parking lot.
Unfortunately it didn't help me with the girls either???
