Barry:
Just getting caught up on my Digests. Anyway, for what it's worth, the
numbers for my two cars bracket those for your 'new' car:
1. TS63307LO; EB61498; 1066653; December '59
2. 2TS81140L ; EB79247; 1101782; December '60
So, as with the other replies to your question, your car is not a '59
but is definitely a '60. Good luck.
