58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-01-13 18:39	is that a single top-center mounted windshield wiper?
58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-01-14 07:06	Could be the same car Do you have a shot of the VIN plate?

There you can tell that it is a Wasp, not a Hornet, by the length of the name at the leading edge of the front fender and by the space between the leading edge of the front door and the wheel well. That is the most obvious difference between Hornet and Wasp. Sure is a pretty car. Can someone guide me to that other place that this car is featured on here?
Commander 57 ◊ 2012-06-26 19:38	I'm inclined to agree with 55 hornet's analysis. Changing listing to Wasp. -- Last edit: 2012-06-26 19:40:39
