Loo0oOng day. This combination turned up earlier. Gotta' love eagle eyes!

Asked around, the owner was staying at a close hotel. He wasn't in and a note was left at the front desk.

 

[Kim McDonald]

That is beautiful.

Is something wrong with the quarter panel behind the rear wheel? It doesn't look right, like it is caved in or something.

Looks like possible blow out damage to me.

 

[John ED Renstrom]

that would be a good guess but it is most definitely tucked under.

I think it is paint overspray.

 

[Peter Jennings]

I'll take it, damaged or not!!!

looks like

The quarter panel looks like it is short to me. Like the bottom of the fender has been cut off or rolled up. If you look close the skeg (bottom fender fin) looks to be molded in. There is no visible line where the fender skirt and fender should meet. To my eye the fender skirt has been cut too, as the skeg is part of the skirt. I agree there are many here, including me, that would like to see it in our driveway.

Heard back from the owner today. Glad to know notes work efficiently sometimes.

He's pretty proud of this '61 and would sell it if the price were right - then threw a figure out higher than $10k. So he doesn't really want to sell~

Looks like they modified the 1/4 panel to get rid of the skirt.

I ,ll sell you a 3-way and throw in the Lev-L-Matic at that price
