not mine

 

funny alternator belt

 

Not a fan of this color - don't know why but never really liked it.

 

Does anyone in Chicago know this car ? Is it a documented W30 or a 442 w/parts ?

 

One thing is almost a certainty, the azure blue is likely the "born with" color for this car.

 

I dunno...pic with the door open appears to show a white jam.

 

The color of the jamb appears to be the same as the outside of the door you can see near his hand (the window tint makes the rest of the door, side mirror and front fender look bluer). Which is good, because what moron would change the color of such a momentous car without cutting in the jambs to match.

But yeah, baby blue is not my favorite either.

 

Hmmm....60 large and no vin sticker on the door...wonder why??🤔

 

It most likely wore off after 50 years.

 

Agreed, but I would think that one would replace it sometime along the way.

 

If restored it would be long gone. Not something to make or break the validity of being a W-30.,

 

Its been repainted. The side stripes are not quite right and no pin striping on the deck lid. The wheels came from the factory with Argent color, not "Baby Blue". Dash looks like the dash from an A/C car and no A/C compressor in the engine bay. I think someone who watches B-J or Mecum Auctions priced it at 60,000.
.....Just my two cents worth.

 

Just trying to get educated, what aspects of the dash would indicate it may be originally for A/C? The side vents and lack of center vent look correct to me for non A/C. Is there some other differences?

 

Agree the jam matches the end of door, but both are white on my monitor. The top of the front fender not viewed through the tinted window is baby blue. I think our "moron" just shot the car with the doors shut.

theres a lot of them out there

 

I believe I'll take exception to that statement. Note the VERY CLEAR delineation between the tinted window transparency and the non-tinted window lack of transparency.

 

okee..dokee

 

There's nothing "wrong" with the dash......it's a correct NON-AC dash/vent setup. Nothing to see there.
