As of Dec. 22, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Jun.01.2009] Car #636 has been on the roster of survivors for 35 years but its whereabouts were not known. This one was recently [9/2004] brought to my attention by its current, new owner.' I am expecting to get from him in the near future some details about the car, as well as some pics. Late Extra [6/2009]: Frank Pinkus, the new owner, wrote: I do not know much of the history of this car. All I know of the early history is that it was sold in N.J.' [correct].' The previous owner (who I never met) had the air replaced with coils, put on new tires and did a brake job. The car then spent 25 years on the third floor of a warehouse in Newark, N.J. A friend of mine was asked to get the car running and to sell it. I was not looking for nor needed another car, however when I saw it I had to have it. It took one whole year until I got a price and was able to buy the car. The car was repainted many years ago in the correct color [Lake Placid Blue]. Should be redone, but probably will not. After going through the fuel, brake, and cooling system, the car runs very well. Much to my surprise, with the addition of a little R-12 the A.C. works perfect. I have novanity items, the car is not a show car, but what a wonderful car to' own and todrive. Some of you may have seen the car last year at Cherry' Hill when I drove itdown there one day.
