Rich,
That original one looks like it's ready to have babies

LOL.....I'll let you know if there are any baby hoses in there when I remove it tomorrow. I just hope they're not alien babies.

I'm surprised it's lasted 53+ years.

Here are some closer shots of the hose and the clamps for posterity. I carefully removed the hose with a right-angle pick tool sliding it around the hose to prevent damage. Note the blue stripe on the hose.

The hose is going to a new owner and the clamps will be re-used so please no special requests. I found a service replacement hose and it'll be here tomorrow.

You certainly can count on me Mike.....

This car also has it's original suspension and after some hand cleaning I could see the factory applied inspection paint on the inner tie rod ends.

Every untouched body mount has it's original factory applied masking tape still intact too.
