Ddey65 ◊ 2009-05-29 15:51	Skywatcher68 wrote Not another KW 524? I almost thought so myself, but do you see how smooth and narrow the hood is on the beige 524 that we can see? The dark green one isn't that narrow, and isn't that smooth. -- Last edit: 2009-05-29 15:52:52
Skywatcher68 ◊ 2009-05-29 21:22	Looks plenty narrow here. www.imcdb.org/vehicle_230647-Ford-F-Series-1957.html 524 hoods of the period had two lines down the middle, which could account for the ribbing look. imcdb.org/vehicle_13596-Kenworth-524.html -- Last edit: 2009-05-29 21:23:01
Skywatcher68 ◊ 2009-05-29 21:26	How about a White? imcdb.org/vehicle_224855-White-WA-20.html
