    Those are called "Tonneau Covers"

    And here's a better photo of that plaque ...

    Nice looking car. The photos repeat when you enlarge a photo and then add more. I've fought that battle more than once.

    I'm always afraid to go looking for an old rod or custom because it may be changed so much you don't recognize it now.

    Is that a stock grill?

    Why is the license plate different on the rear?

    first it is a modified stock grille I will see if I can find a picture of an unmodified one.meteors were only in Canada as to plate I believe the rear is a 51 plate whereas front is probably a current one for year photo was shot.
