Be sure to use lots of baby powder all over the inner tubes and inside the tire before mounting. It will probably be a long time before you remove them again and the powder prevents them from sticking to the rim and each other. Measure your wheels when you get the old tires off. If any are 3 1/2” wide on the bead area it is possible your car was originally a V8-60. It would also have a tube front axle instead of an “I” beam axle.
The pin for your hood ornament/latch can be bought from Bob Drake or Dennis Carpenter for about $5. Your spring under the hood looks weak and probably buy one of them at the same time. Great car.
