I posted this inquiry in the general discussion and feel that my question should have been posted in Technical.

I am interested in purchasing this car and would like both good and bad feedback from members who own this particular car.
I like the car as it is a large model and would appreciate any information of quirks, potential problems, parts search etc.
Thanks

I have never owned an FA but did an '19 FB. It was a great car that currently is resting comfortably in a LARGE Chevrolet collection in Iowa. Cruised on the highways at 45 mph smoothly. I am sure it could have gone faster if necessary but with rear only brakes the road ahead needs to be considered.

There have been several H, F, FA, FB Chevrolets on VCCA "Four Cylinder Tour"s. They have performed well including transiting Teton Pass with 10% grades. They get plenty of attention on the road or at stops as many have not seen them before. There are plenty of VCCA members that will provide help with any problems.

Thank you for the input. The car sold to a museum, and I am glad it will be there for future Chevy enthusiasts to view.
