What a great thing to see for Thanksgiving!
I see what Owen means about the tail lights. Compared to the ones on the '55 parked next to it, the lens look shorter (or the bumper lower).
I remember reading an article not long after it was discovered near Seattle (I think) saying aside from the bronze bumpers there was also a tremendous amount of lead which made it a little strange to steer.
I'm real glad it was rescued. What a moment it must have been to discover something like that which was thought to have been destroyed years earlier! Wish it had been me.
