    Looks like it had Lincoln tail lights in it at one time.

    I wonder what the deal with the filled but not smoothed parking lights are? Kind of an odd mod.

    what a dream, it must seem, cleaned up to a gleam, it must have took some green?

    SWEET FIND BAMA-MAN, couldn't be happier for you. It's great to think there are still some decent cars hidden away out there. Happy motoring!
