Thanks Schuyler, I appreciate the input as always. FWIW, the kit I bought 
shows an August 1945 build date. Of course that doesn't mean it isn't just 
something Concor had on hand for detail. Taking into consideration all that 
you say, I figure this car is good enough to be saved in it's present 
roadname. Someday I'll put a thinner roofwalk and brake wheel on it and 
probably move the data stenciling to underneath the Flour logo where it 
belongs. Thanks for the prototype image for comparison too.
