rust free vent


the below windscreen pop up air vent was an awesome 50's symbol but it was inclined to be a rust trap.
Fortunately the ute has no rusting in this area, I certainly am lucky to have a virtually rust free project

Utilities were originally designated the model number 50-2106 (STYLE NO.), as opposed to the sedans being 48-215. The utes however today are also universally known as the 48-215 or FX
This tag tells me that the ute is painted in Brewster green, was fitted with walnut brown trim, and importantly the body number tells me that the vehicle was made in October 1951, all original, all genuine
