    That is one nice looking back:)
    How did they even stamp those rear quarters or 2 or 3 piece quarters to make the one? Final fit and finish had to be exhausting too running down the factory line.
    Old wing Caddy and Buicks too..
    Maby 30 years ago I read that even the 70 to 72 GS rear quarters were hard to stamp and they explained some process. Can't remember were I read it but true. Why on the Skylark and GS rear quarters being so hard, I don't see being that bad. I'm not a sheet metal guy though.

    It has a v on the hood

    Compared to my old 59
    It had Chevrolet script only v8 cars had the v , his hood looks orig plus so many conversions don’t change this small issue, mine wasn’t changed even thou it had a v8

    In 60 it was a grill emblem here is a 60
    V8 emblem dual flags and a v
