I didn’t take any door jam pictures. I do remember the jams being nice and couldn’t see any overspray on the mechanical latches. The floor plates were scratched but that’s pretty normal. I let the owner know that if he couldn’t get me in touch with the previous owner, I’m going to pass on the car. I am looking for details on what was done during the restoration and he couldn’t really provide it.

The reason for the door jam picture was to see if it has the St. Louis body clue or if it was an A O smith body to start with.

From a related thread:
"The St. Louis bodies also have a dimple between the door hinges where the conduit for power windows would go. Also I think that different rivets were used inside the doors, inside the upper weather stripping. St. Louis used regular rivets and AO Smith used a flat rivet."
does this picture help?

Anybody want to buy an original L72 car with a numbers matching motor? Full disclosure...the numbers matching motor is a 300hp.
