And if you look closely at the edges of the rusty section near the VIN plate, it has what appears to be scratches from a sanding disc?

Other questions/observations I have which the '64 experts may know more about are:

1) Did '64s have the speckle paint in the trunks like later years? The trunk interior of this car is painted body color.

2) Looks like numerous interior items have been restored/replaced to my eye. Front seat covers and carpet in particular.

3) Underside of body looks too fresh to be the original finish.

4) Is the texture of the glovebox and dash paint how they left the factory? Looks rougher than my '66s original dash paint.
