Agree Bill. Such a rare car, would be a great addition, even in b/w. Steve, have you contacted the local fire dept. to see if they have any pics?

I have, I'm hopeful something will turn up.

Gravel road runners are the same. That dust packs in to everything. The a little water to the mix and it sets up like concrete. But for me the worse is one parked under the trees.
This one kept in service as long as it was would be like new.

I've long held the opinion in automotive engineering secondary only to making the job as difficult as possible for a mechanic needing to fix something comes the skill of designing covert pockets to store corrosives adjacent to unprotected steel. Bonuses are given for including fake drains (actually vents to improve corrosive flow) that appear in the vehicle driver's peripheral vision when the door is open.

I could be wrong, but I do have active memory of acre feet of replacement rocker panels in a warehouse.
