| Post subject: | Is this front original |
Having just read the wanted adds where there is a query about the originality of the front end. I have a 1964 (novemberish) and would like some opinion if it is period correct, not that I would change it if it wasn't. Top bonnet mating panel with some spare holes and two studs.  Blinker and raised support.  Front apron although missing is the front bumper mounting angle. I'd love the angle if someone has one.

Those studs are for mounting the fresh air duct for the heater. |

I would have thought a late 64 would have had the brake cutouts on the front valence? |

My body number is 55777, so earlier than yours. When I enquirer on here what year/month it was I was informed it was likely November 1964 ?. |
