No, not true. The only instances of OEW cars having black underbody is
early BN1s. After that, the cars were painted once and only once, body color.
(oversprayed coves on two-tones). The only circumstances under which a white
car would have black fender wells would be with a dealer-applied undercoating
(which we do not recommend replacing) or a sloppy restoration.
