Don't give up on enjoying that beautiful car! It is very possible that the neutral safety switch caused the no-start issue. Since you had only driven it two blocks, it could be as simple as a tune-up issue with the choke or carburetor that caused it to die on the turn. Of course, it could be an electrical issue, so carry some diagnostic tools with you as you drive.
