Sorry to differ Alan, but that's not correct. There was only a pressing on
the inside as a trial for a sort time to attempt to stiffen these large
expanses of flat metal on some front fenders, the front surfaces of these
were lead loaded so the swage line still disappeared over the chrome spear.
Nothing to do with BN2's vs. others. They also tried closing the vent slot
toward the end of BN2 production, and some very late cars may or may not
have had these on one or the other or neither, or both.
No production Hundreds had a 6 cylinder swage carrying on down the wing like
a 6 cylinder wing.
Colour lines were generally toward the bottom of the cove but often varied
and split the difference to at least make the colour line even from one
panel to the next,
