Location: Montreal, Canada | I don't see the add-on taillights.. Are they in place of the back-up lights? My computer screen is not so good.
The interior is a typical Canadian Desoto interior, I think it's a US Chrysler interior pattern.
Sure looks like a pretty nice car for the price. The plastic hubcaps have got to go, though! ;-) |

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | The interior is the Canadian version which uses the Chrysler Saratoga upholstery, but is not quite correct on the driver seat. The cloth section should go up higher where the medallion is. See mine below ( medallion needs to be installed) As to add on tail lights, I don't see any unless you are talking about the back up lights. As for a bargain - depends on how much rust is on this baby.

Those back up lights are stock units, but the edges were originally chromed plastic and didn't stand up well. These ones on the auction car may have been painted but they look to be correct. See photo below.

..Wasn't that a Disco-tune: ...Bondo-Buggy......?
************************************
No. That was "Bondo Boogie", by the Rust Buckets.
Or was it the Fender Benders ?
