Can any one tell me if this bodied twelve is rare or not? I just removed the original passengers side front door pannel and discovered writing on the inner door dapening material. Also on the inner wood door supports the H followed by the body # is embosed in the top of the door n the wood support. Is this unusual? This number mathces exactly to the number under the front seat.
I have heard of Hayes as a body maker but not Hinze. Hayes and O.J. Beaudette (a.k.a. Pontiac) were both prominent makers of bodies for Ford in that era.
Sorry about the hines but it is a hayes bodied touring. How many of these guys were made? The other thing is that I need the correct paint formula, PPG or Dupont. I guess it is the dark,dark blue does any one know? All help in this would be greatly appreciated.
