Welcome and sorry about dad passing away. But it sounds like he loved his car and you are going to as well so I think he will be happy. Here are my thoughts on your cars as I have the same body style.

1) keep tabs on the wood. That is the roof, windows and doors. As long as dad replaced the wood or still has solid wood then you should be fine.
2) That is it.

The wood body is the real difference, other than that drive her, get to know her and have fun. Radials are an option but the bias ply's do just as well unless you plan on driving in rain and snow.
