You could buy those head lights and have them chrome plated and save your other ones in case you wanna go back to original bana2

Steve,

I can believe it! I don't like the chrome head lights either.
Body color would be much better.

Bill.

PS: I don't much like the wire wheels either. Otherwise,
a real cute coupe....

I was only wrong one time in my life so far. But that time I was right, and only thought I was wrong....ED

Ken.....I had a brother-in-law and when he was dating my sister,way back in the early 1950's, he had a 37 Chevy that used to break down every time he picked her up to go out.
I told him that he should name his car "FLATTERY" because it got him "NOWERE".


I was only wrong one time in my life so far. But that time I was right, and only thought I was wrong....ED
