Post by: KurtS on May 16, 2020, 03:38:13 AM: Lots of good details!
The first picture has mags, but flat hood so a 327 car (or possibly L6).
The third picture is in the showroom, but the wheelwells are dirty.

Guys, I noticed the dirty wheel wells and tires too. I wonder if they had a muddy parking lot out back or something. Strange that this was not cleaned off before bringing it into the showroom.

Post by: VINCE Z28 on May 16, 2020, 05:10:41 PM: A new car with New York State Plates, that seems odd unless they required dealers back then to have them on the car for test drives? Also most of these cars have wheel covers. Dealers didn't want to pay up for ralleys?
