Title: Camping Body Accessory?
Post by: Ken's 57 on May 03, 2011, 06:43:17 PM
I came across these today at the bottom of a box of parts that came with the car. It's only taken me 4 years to notice them. The car has a camping body so I'm thinking they may have been an accessory supplied as part of the package. They are a nice tight fit on the window and are well made. Would certainly keep out any bugs if you needed to sleep with the windows down.

Thanks Ken. Yes, the decal is a nice little extra. The use of letters rather than numbers for the first part of the phone number sits nicely with the period. I remember this practice as a kid back in the 50s and early 60s.

Gary, I have not seen any obvious signs of how to get the seat to go back. I'll check this weekend. I'd be interested to know.
