Nice car. First thing I'd do is put a black distributor cap on it!

From what I have seen the two times I've been there the cars are high quality but generally very pricey (unless they are damaged like the poor unfortunate 64 Catalina wagon they bought out of Nova Scotia - the whole left rear quarter is crushed from the end, as is the bumper and tailgate).

I have some other concerns based on personal experience in the purchase of the car I bought from them, but they do carry quality vehicles.

I think they have more show room space now but last time I was there it was hard to get between the cars, there were so many of them in one space.

Nice car X2. Second thing I would do is put black and red battery cables on it!!! But I guess he was going with blue scheme?

Thirdly, I would install a GM battery in it! One thing I despise is a non specific battery in a restored vehicle! A major pet peeve!!!

I generally don't like fender skirts on 61-64 Pontiacs but they do look good on this 62 convt.

Agreed. I think the Delco battery is a nice finishing touch, even if it's not era correct. And besides, I am convinced Delco has one of the best, if not the best battery on the market. We have tremendous success with them at work.

I have to say that Parisienne is really attractive. I also think that fender skirts more often than not look bad, but on that car they really look quite good.

A tar-top Delco battery & some reproduction spring ring battery cables are an easy fix. A 1962 GM car should use a generator rather than an alternator (that is if you are going for an authentic restoration).

I know, pick pick pick. I think it looks like a sweet car.
