Location: bishop, ca | Well, it's got OLD tires, but they're not original to the car.
Before looking at the engine compartment, I saw that the brake pedal has some wear on it and guessed
that the car probably had manual brakes....doesn't; so this car may have seen a lot of stop-and-go local
area driving during in its lifetime.
The car was also Ziebarted, at some time, which seems unusual, in a CA-car.
The "306" marking on the tire was the factory coding for that type/style of tire, for easy-ready reference on the
assembly line.
It sure deserves a conscientious new owner; maybe a museum.

Location: Ny | Could be just the light and the angle, but it looks like the left front fender and drivers door paint doesn't quite match the rear. Perhaps that explains the hinge being white?

Correct! And the Ebay ad is saying the same thing as the ad on his homepage.
