    Just noticed this a pretty rare (even for 1969) Dodge Charger '500' model. It has a flush-mounted grill (regular model was recessed a few inches) and fixed headlamps (no headlamp doors) It also had a flush (not inset) rear window. Dodge made a few hundred of them to get homologated for NASCAR. (This was all before the winged Daytona came out.....) Here's a Road & Track.com article on it:

    Here's a rear pic:[​IMG]

    If that won had been driven in the Bullit movie, both occupants would have had a chance of escaping Steve McQueen's Mustang
    It seems, they brought them in much earlier, to attach fins onto late fifties vehicles

    The photograph shown below was emailed over by Ron. It was taken in about 1950, in Falkirk, Scotland. In it are Ron's father and grandmother, stood alongside an amazing woodie that had clearly been built on a former wartime lorry chassis. It was known simply as "The Wagon".

    This very rare shot of a 1944 Ford Prefect Shooting Brake, which features a "Fulvu" pillarless windshield design. Notice the "blackout" headlights.

    Post-war Ford Prefect/10 Shooting Brake, which appear to have been taken at the Dagenham factory after the war. Notice the plastic side windows, fold-down rear seat(s), tail gate with spare tire attached and brake light attached to the top header. Center photo shows this woodie loaded to the max with six full-size guys
