Hope that helps John. That is how the car left the factory. Passenger side should be the same but who knows quality control may not have been a thing back in 1960?

Hi Stephen, now im think Im getting very old ......tried to click and drag a photo of my wagon and could not do it ...not sure what the trick is to put photos on this forum ???

Yes can be a bit tricky. Some folk on here use the tap a talk app thingy to post pictures, apparently that makes it easy?

When your on the screen to reply to a post, towards the bottom of the page there are three buttons (save draft, preview, submit), below that there is “attachments”. That is where you can upload a pic from your photo album.

Then “add files”

Hopefully this helps. Note there is a file size limit, think it is 2mb per file.
