Thanks for the clarification. The 1001 I'm looking at does not have the metal covers but I really like the look of them. Definitely makes the car look sportier and more streamlined. Unfortunately, it will probably cost more than $18 to add them, if I could even find a set at all.

Interesting story about your car being put in storage for the duration of the war after the chauffeur enlisted. This probably saved it. Far too many big classics were scrapped during the war. With gas rationing, owning one was a liability and the classic car movement hadn't really started yet. Sad to think of what was lost.
