What would these have been for

Post by Spitz »

on each side of front floor right at the front. Same position each side.
Because they are captive on the inside, I thought probably original (61)
I've removed the 1/2 nuts

Thanks for that info.

On that page it states that all 59 cars have the flat sills ( one piece floor pressing )

That statement would lead me to believe that 1960 saloons got the different sill.....but perhaps the commercials ( Vans/Pups ) retained these when they were introduced. I have the welded seat brackets also. Wiper motor is dated March 61

I'm amazed at how original the car is, partly thanks to a thick layer of anti rust stuff on the bottom.
I hate to discard anything original.....but may have to
