Marshal,
Don't call me mad, but would it make sense to try to turn the car into "The
Round Up" ?
Or are overall length, roof profile or other things way too different?
AND there is still the a chance that "The Round Up" was converted in 52 as
well.
I know what you are about to say - model the 50s!
Thanks, Florian

key way to tell them apart if your photograph doesn't show the name plate
clearly).
