I have a thick stack of old papers, for sale advertising, and work receipts dating back to early 1964 with the car. A few years ago I put them all in chronological order and noted any odometer readings recorded in a dated document. Interesting.
Dan,

Well, obviously the prior owner drove the car in reverse a lot and that would account for the declining mileage

I hope that you are doing well. Still waiting for the opportunity to head west and possibly having the opportunity to see your cars. Take care.

Jim
