Also noted the 'crease' in the lower side panels seems sharper on some and almost non-existent on others. Makes me wonder if some earlier bodies (Lagunas?) were reskinned on the front and rear clips to turn them into an Olds while keeping the Chevy doors and quarters. Seems the Olds from '76-'77 might have had an aero advantage over the other bodies to make a 'conversion' worthwhile.
I think this makes it challenging for a model car company to try to be 'exact' on a model as each car has some differences - maybe even the same car through the season or from season to season, as these bodies were legal right through the 1980 season (in fact I think they were even legal for the first race of '81 at Riverside).
Great pics and thanks to all who have posted them! |
Excellent points. Thanks _________________ life is hard, it's harder when you're stupid. John Wayne |
