Congrats on your purchase, and having an enjoyable first drive! I'm glad
to hear that the car turned out as you expected.

Offhand, I do not know what type of shocks are in place. Clearly, at some
point, a previous owner has converted the shocks on your car from the
original Armstrong lever shocks to a standard tubular shock. I am not sure
of this, but I belive that such conversion generally use the same shock
absorber as is supposed to be on the front.
