Yes - Rod and Hank's Vintage Guitars is still around. I'm sorry to say I have never been there. I really need to check it out.

Well it is simple for the 60s models. Wait, Nevermind. It ISN'T so simple. I can give you a model list if that will make it a bit easier. Here are some of the models from the 60s.
The Ventures Model/Mark I (The original that The Ventures were known to play)
The Ventures II Slab Body/Mark II (Like Johnny Ramone played)
The Ventures II German Carve (Mostly the same as the Mark V except it was a crossover model and some of these had the Mark II bridge, I think the pickguard is slightly different too)
Mark V (The Mark V is like a smaller Mark I but with the same scale and a straight neck pickup instead of angled)
Mark ? (I forgot the number, It is the bass and there are one and two pickup versions)
Mark XII (Twelve string model, Some had a stop tailpiece, Others had the Moseley tailpiece, A rare few have the Vibramute)
Celebrity (Hollow body model, There are also different varieties of the Celebrity)
Combo (Semi hollow body model)
Joe Maphis single neck model (Like a combo but without the F hole)
Joe Maphis double neck model
Other double neck models that I can't remember the names of
Acoustic models (The Serenade and another one that I can't remember the name of that was the better model)
DARN. Now that I think about it, Mosrite really had a lot going on just in the 60s and I didn't even talk about the amps, pedals or the Gospel models or one offs (One of a kind models)... Good lord, I will be here all night listing Mosrite guitars! I must inform you that I have to go. Ciao.

Nice coverage 101Volts, I did a little edit job, the Bass was the Mark X
