     I see e-mail from somebody in Minnesota who says he is looking for 
a pre-1962 double door.  I take time to respond to him because I have 
seen two of them for sale in the Auto-Trader (pretty unusual to see one, 
much less two in the same issue).  I write the ads exactly as they 
appeared in the Auto-Trader.  The first one says "Rare 1960".  I write 
"Rare 1960".  He responds "What makes it so rare?"  How the hell do I 
know?  I'm just trying to be helpful to someone who says he is looking 
for a particular split window.  The sellers phone # is included so you 
can find out why he thinks it's rare.
      Then I include my observations from the pictures in the 
Auto-Trader, "...looks like rear wheel arches have been opened to allow 
bigger rear wheels."  He responds "Don't want any hack jobs."  Buy your
vehicle in Minnesota then.  Be sure to get one that already has the 
rusted out rear wheel arches replaced so you don't end up with a" hack 
job".  How much do those arches cost, $50-100 each plus installation?
