Each question has a person who knows the answers, and hundreds who could care
less. Suggest the one who knew colors is John Bromley. <johnfbromley at rogers.com>
I only remember the logo on the curb side but I don't propose to be. Not all cars
in the paint you describe had the large PAT; I have no pictures with it on the
blind side. Those that had it appear to be on the curb side.
Wings and dash lights? Depends on how bad the last accident was. Most cars by
the 1970s had been shorn of those luxuries. Remember lesson No. 1 ... if broken,
fix and get on street in time for the evening rush hour. If wings and dash lights
require an extra day or two or a week (if you have to make the dash out of steel
instead of Bondo), forget it.
But ask John. He would care. I don't have any interest in trivia.
