Let's not forget that 1613 once carried a pilot. There should be evidence of
the pilot mounting (holes, bracing) under the front. 1640 was a city car its
entire life. Wouldn't a careful inspection underneath show whether or not the
car is really 1613 or 1640? What about evidence within the car (opening rear
window, luggage rack mounting location) or evidence of the spare trolley pole
mounting or horn?
