Interesting. If I remember correctly, the 1500s have a hole in teh front
fender that looks like it is for a turn signal, but it is bigger (mainly
taller) and maybe lower? I think all it does is let the cable through for
the turn signals which are mounted in the bumpers.
If the fender holes were exactly as on chrome bumper car, I would guess it
has been converted to rubber bumpers...
I can't remember if my 79 parts car had a grill surround or not.
