This is the best one of these I have ever found. Most is still in original
paint. No bent rear corners, no rust. Looks to have been taken off a car
early on and dry stored in a shed.

For accuracy, below are all the things I can see that are wrong with it:

The holes for the letters are not present and a little lead work is present
in the leading edge. Not sure if letter holes are filled or simply not there,
or if lead is factory in that location. A small, shallow dent is filled with
plastic filler that is peeling up. There is also an unfamiliar hole in the
forward underside frame. Still present is the latch plunger. It has a heavy
weld where it meets the base plate. Not sure if this is a repair or typical.
In the recess by the base plate are two short flex cracks. All easy fixes.

All the usual places for rust failure are solid and only show peeling paint
and perhaps a little surface rust. Super straight, super rust-free. Hard to
find one better.
