Good to know! I'm 6'3" so I do ok, but I can imagine some people have a ride on the struggle bus if they open from the opposite side the prop is on!!

My 1948 Henney-Packard had them on both sides, probably because it was so much higher than a passenger car that it would have been impossible to reach otherwise! The Henneys for 1948-1950 had extra height added (about 5”) to the front fenders along with an extra row of grille bars to make them look better proportioned. That, along with 7.50X16 6 ply tires, made them very tall indeed!

All generalities are false.

I forgot I took this pic when I went to look at the car. I cropped it to zoom in...that white blotchy stuff is kind of all over. And that one specific spot looks a little like someone forgot to lift off a polisher...but I know I can fix that.

I was going back looking through things as I'm getting the car more and more dialed in (and having some unexpected surprises!) and this is some of my favorite advice I've been given.
