This tailgate is a 1957 original. In good condition, there are a couple really small dents that are hard to see. The lettering are decals, and are not paint. This tailgate was not used to load equipment, and does not appear to be warped or bent.

There is a minor defect on The lower left corner,  one of the spotwelds apparently from the factory was not hot enough when this part was made.

Someone had attached something to the tailgate in it's past life, and the holes apparently were welded up and filled. There does not appear to be any warpage or distortion from these welds.

In refinishing this tailgate to match your vehicle, when sanding, the areas filled may become apparent during the sanding process, but will sand flat and will not be detected upon repainting.

There does not appear to be any rust or corrosion on this part.

I have tried to be truthful and accurate in my description of this 60 year old part.

The performance sedan, code-named F80, is expected to appear as a lightly veiled concept at the 2013 Geneva motor show, debuting the appearance and mechanical package of the M division's eagerly anticipated Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG rival. A showroom-ready version with a production interior arrives at next year's Frankfurt motor show, BMW sources say.

Enter the 2014 Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge concept debuting at this year’s North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. This thing has been designed to take on the mighty BMW M3 and could well have the weaponry to succeed.

Rolls-Royce Ghost V-Specification dialed up to 593-hp

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

Just before a refreshed Rolls-Royce Ghost debuts at the Geneva Motor Show in March, the British automaker has rolled out a performance edition of its "entry level" sedan with 593-hp underhood. The standard Ghost sedan wasn't exactly short on power until the announcement of the V-Specification version -- the company's 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine produces 563-hp and 575 lb-ft of stump-pulling torque in standard form. Yes, gone are the days when Rolls-Royce declined to disclose exact power figures and simply listed their powerplants' output as "adequate." Now Rolls-Royce is forced to compete in this cutthroat market with its performance stats, it seems.
