Some other interesting notes, there is no evidence of there ever being an inspection sticker on the windshield.
Also, according to the oil change stickers on the door pilar, this car has only had roughly 300 miles since 1969.

as of 5 oclock eastern last night, i am now the proud owner of 2 1955 Patricians! one is definately a parts car, the other may be perfect material for a surviver preservation!
i am going to restore the police car as i have planned, but now i have some more resources. the restorable car is equipped with factory A/C and factory wire wheels, and the parts car has power windows. hope to have pictures within a few days!

well... I removed both power steering pumps from my parts cars (both with bendix steering) and tried them on the police car. both pumps are shot. the one off the prts car seems to move fluid, but it pisses everywhere in the process. the other pump vibrates horribly and after a short test ride, it seemed to stop working.
heres the thing that bugs me. I installed the pumps, got the front wheels off the ground, filled the resivor, then started the engine. i then ran the steering wheel back and forth to ppurge the air. while the wheels were off the ground, everything seemed normal, but as soon as i put the wheels on the ground, it had no power assist. both units seemed to be pumping, but with no affect. the two main hoses are brand new, and the lower hoses seem fine. the system seemed purge air bubbles fine, it just seems like all volume, and no pressure. im stumped. and pissed.

I'd suspect the control valve.
