In this edition we feature Jack Wiltse's video of our 1999 meet in Carmel. I've seen

Today’s project on the J was to remove the rear seat cushions, rear door panels and
associated trim in preparation for interior detailing and refinishing of the original
leather rear seat cushions with Leatherique.
Upon removing the rear seat back, I find a build sheet intact and
tucked under the seat springs. However, upon extricating the build sheet and reading it I find it is not for a 300J!
Clearly a careless screw up on the assembly line.
From what I can tell the build sheet is for a Cyprus Tan (YY1) Newport
9 pass wagon. The body code (559) makes no
sense but the power tailgate clearly means it’s a wagon. The scheduled
build date is 3/12/63, which is one day after the scheduled build date on my J data plate (3/11). Oh well.
