The storm caused by the obviously faked '52 split is intriguing:!:
I have seen others advertised over recent months which I have been very sure are duds, and not for small sums of money either :shock:
Has anybody noticed just how many oval-dashed (zwitter) splits come up for sale? Considering a short production run from October '52 to March '53:?:
These zwitters are nearly always deluxes with new headling and a full respray. Now we know for example, that an April '53 Oval is very much the same as a November '52 split.
It seems that early ovals are becoming less, as well as many discovered split wrecks in woods losing their rear window:!:
I have no more to say other than I would not buy a zwitter. However if a car offered had the original stained headling down to and around the rear window, and preferably very old dull paint, or I knew the car's history very well I would consider it :wink:
A 'proper' pre October '52 split is a better bet, and judging by the mess of the red and white "52 split" in the previous thread, much more involved to fake from an oval :p
Study the end curves of the rear window on the car below…
