Re: 1951 250 research

Thanks for the notes posted so far. Yes Dave, I guess some dealers and owners did do things with the portholes, but I don't think that will pose a problem in research. For one thing, the VIN would most likely be so far out of range with other recorded cars that one would rule it out but also the location of the portholes would most likely be odd in one that was modified. The spacing is not the same on 3 and 4 hole versions. To change from one to the other would require filling old mounting holes and drilling new ones and repainting the repairs in order to be in the proper location. An item certainly not done by the owner who wants to add a hole and not likely something a dealer would have been requested to do. Robert
