I was curious about that too. I don't know if the nostril screens are originally body color.

The car received a coat of paint during its live. So propbably that the grills were repainted at that time.
However, interior paint is original with no fading. |
Either way, it still looks great.
Let me know when you are tired of it. |

No biggie, was just curious. The car is in incredible condition even with a touch-up. Must have been a very big zip-loc bag! I'm jealous

| Really great car. Love that shot of the radio speaker. Does anyone know of someone who re-cones speakers? My 58 has a different shape speaker. Congrats on such a beautiful keeper. |

Yes, a company named Audiolight, but they are a store-front shop in Detroit Michigan. You may be able to find someone closer.

| Yes, with all due respect to Lemke and what he has been able to accomplish, it has been a long wait for the missing pieces. Maybe collaboration would be the way to go. |
