Greetings!
Earlier I described the paint scheme on 1473 . . . but check out the
paint scheme on 1474 (MD McCarter photo #N28260!) It is the same as
1473 with two exceptions, even three: 1)--Behind the center doors is
"BACK UP OUR FIGHTING MEN" with the portrait of a Marine inside the
Victory "V;" 2)--"BUY MORE WAR BONDS" and a star are between the two
doors; but the crowning glory of this car is the front dash: 3)--an
Eagle is centered behind the Golden Glow headlight whose wings span the
entire dash, definitely dwarfing the headlight wings. Behind that is
the big Victory "V" - a stellar paint job!
