Yeah, cars sure dissolved quickly back then. The junk yard got it because it had been abandoned on Lowry Air Force Base by an airman who had been transfered and left it behind. The old paperwork in the car indicated that it came from Rochester, New York - hence all that pre-existing rustiness. But it had all its original drivetrain and was Curious Yellow. It also started right up! I applied for an abandoned title along with the junkyard-supplied paperwork. And the rest is history. Go here for the "after" photo:
