First off I see the attachment didn't work on my post, sorry bout that.. The stripes, incorrect from what I've always seen and read, but I was never able to figure out when/how it got that way.. When I found the car 14 years ago it was that way, car was extremely orig and complete, every component was orig to the car.
The paint from the doors forward is original from all the info I got at the time and I never found out different. I had the quarters done and back clip cleared.. So I still have no idea on how, when.. could it have been a factory goof ? Just don't know.. Funny though, when Ertl documented the car for the model the stripes came out that way to, so the model matches the car... You can see updated pics of her at

Often thought about having them corrected as it would'nt be hard..
