As Curt suggested, the car was obviously Spruce Green so the dash would also
have been Spruce Green. That colour on the dash is simply somebody's whim at
some time in the car's remote past. I'd sure like to get any of her numbers
for the Hundred Registry if possible. The chassis number tag may still be on
the left frame rail straight down from the distributor. Body numbers could
be checked in all the usual places too. It's certainly a BN1 built before
the unified numbers kicked in. She's also before mid July '54 with the early
tonneau cover front corner Tenax studs, the flat pressed hub of the spare
wheel, and a few other clues.

Boy, that car is a mess -- looks like the 30 years it's been sitting were
in someone's back 40. But WHAT color is that dash board? Looks like there is
still trace amounts of the standard silver on the instrument panel, but I've
never seen a light-blue dash board. Anyone? Rich?
