The reason why the nose color will look different from the rest of the car was because it was painted in lacquer while the body was painted in acrylic enamel.

That car still exists and is on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mi.

It was recently treated to a very gentle "touching up" after return from an event in Europe (Goodwood, I think), but with as much of the original content untouched (including a broken windshield that was left in place).

The bump in the roof is to clear Dan Gurney's helmet, since he was about 6' 4" tall.

I love night time cityscapes be they photos or in movies/TV shows.

My '80 Chevy pickup front fenders matched the rest of the truck like that and the whole thing was enamel.
