The Ford Barn

I have a 1929 Model A Tudor Sedan that I helped my Grandpa restore about 15 years ago, we did all the work on a frame up restoration except for the seat upholstery and stretching the top. I wished I would have paid more attention when building it. He has since passed away and the car hasn't ran in over 7 years.
My questions are:
1. Is there anything special I need to do before I try to get it running other than what you would do normally on an older car?
2. I remember him saying the motor was different than a regular motor. I think something like it was from Canada, or it was a different color, something along the lines of that. It was painted a dark blue-greenish color when we got it. Is there any merit to that?
3. He said there was missing chrome pieces for the trunk, I don't recall what though. Could someone please help identify what's missing.

I appreciate anyone taking the time to read my post and I'm looking forward to getting some incite on my questions. Since the restoration it's only had 4 miles put on it, but I plan on putting it in a few parades and car shows if I can get it running.

Here's a full picture and a picture of the trunk:
