I'd very much second Reckless Rat's opinion - in fact, I'd go further and suggest it would be a very good idea to remove the sump and clean out all the muck that will have settled to the bottom over the last 50 years. That, of course, assumes that there is oil in the sump. I recall a 1932 saloon that had been standing for at least ten years; the dipstick showed the oil to be as-new, but when the sump was removed that there was a thick layer of black dirt in the bottom.
