Just wondering how may were made? The only ones I can think of right now are the 56-57 Chevys. How many others were there? Caddys? Pix would be great ifn you have them. Thanx, Gary
56FLRN, nice pix! I did find an older thread that mentions Pontiac Safari's, 57 Olds, 54-56 Caddys and a Nash Ambassador. I guess there weren't that many, and mostly GM stuff. Hope not. The 56 Chevy is very purdy. Gary
57-58 cadilacs very cool looking "twin" tailight with a push button reflector in the middle to unlatch it.
I remember that many fillers were "hidden" behind the rear license plate. But then you were looking for tail lights, weren't you?
Buick : none ('57-58: door in bumper) Chevy : '56-57 ('58 above bumper) '57 : Olds : '57-58 ('58, note missing chrome section : http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_09Op0KYA6.../OQeNogEWhA4/s1600/1958+Olds+Eighty+Eight.jpg)
Continental Mark II has the filler behind one taillight. This certainly never looked like a filler cap to me : Have to think more on Ford/ChryCo... EDIT ~ FoMoCo (besides the Mk II) and MoPar don't seems to have dabbled in hidden fuel fillers. Some are well disguised (google rear of '64-68 Imperial), but not truly hidden ALA Cadillac.
when i get a car in to the shop that has a has a hidden fuel filler, i challenge the kids in the neighborhood to find it. with an ice cream as a reward they are getting good at the car makers "tricks".
That's great, anything to get kids around cars is a good thing for our hobby and the future of hot rodding. Kudos to you my friend!
