Mark is right on about the paint difference on the front clip. These cars were off a little when new, more evident with certain colors that did not cover well over different color primers like GM used on these cars. (brilliant) If the paint was a color that covered very well (solid colors or metalics with heavier base makeup like fathom green or dusk blue) the difference in primer color did not show up. GM cars had this going on from the inception of acrylic lacquer in '57 right up thru the late 70's. This car is likely original paint, I'd be suspect if fender/door match was dead on as they never were.
