Cowl Tag - is this a reproduction?
« on: January 10, 2022, 03:57:06 PM »
Looking at a very nice 69 L78 but this cowl tag has me spooked.  What are your thoughts, font for the 9 got my attention.  And the rivets don’t looked crimped, correct?

Yup, repro.

Rivets, font, two errors.
Learning more and more about less and less...

What are the two errors? 

Too bad it’s a really nice older Jack Farland restoration.

Dusk Blue with Blue Deluxe interior would be a highly desirable color combo.
