Bill,
is it a square arch car? If so, it is easy to see how low it is by paying
attention to how much of the tire is covered by the fender. You could
compare it to pictures in "Original S&M". If you do, you will also notice
that the cars pictured in that book vary widely in how low they sit in the
rear.
