Commander 57 ◊ 2021-02-27 15:47	Only the 1952 200 Deluxe had the rear fender trim. The base 200 rear fenders looked the same as 1951. Perhaps the lighting is what makes the bumper guards seem like 1951's(?) The hood front is really pretty clear and definitely does not show any sign of lettering. Still feel this is likely a 1952. -- Last edit: 2021-02-27 15:55:47

I've watched enough film in this quality to know that the details such at letters wouldn't be visible in this resolution, even less so without the presence of the sun to reflect them. For example, the hood badge of this 1950 Ford would definitely be visible under normal circumstances, but it isn't. -- Last edit: 2021-02-27 18:43:36
