The bumper guards are upside down (at least compared to my '62 GT). Also, what's up with the add on hood ornament[?]

That's funny! He probably put it on while laying on his back.

I saw another funny on there today. The listing is nothing special, just the tag line. "HORSE DRAWN WAGON MANUAL HORSE". Does that mean the horse has a clutch? Needs a carrot? Is not shiftless? I give up.

I think the whole bumper is upside down!

Guido beat me, so I didn't think about the guards. I think the whole thing is upside down. The angles on the bumpers ends are narrower at the top than the bottom. Not in a streamlining direction.

Upside down or rightside up

Any Hawk that looks good with front bumper guards...looks better without them

There was a Studebaker in the Great Race a couple of summers ago that had the bumper guards the same way.

And what's the thing around the windshield glass inside of the body frame?

ok, now that I see Leonard's pic, maybe it's a chrome trim.

I guess that if I had taken the time to look at more than the front image I would have gotten it right the first time. The bumper is on upside down as can be seen in this image. I sent the owner a message to let him/her know. I wonder if that is a Junior wagon on the porch and a Studebaker wagon in my first picture?

The side picture makes the front fenders look like fenders from a 1950 model. In my mind.

It appears that the same seller has this '61 Champ up for sale too (also with an implanted hood ornament).

Although the bumper is on upside down, the bumper guards actually look better in that position than stock.

No, The opening post is missing something. I'm always very curious as to why someone goes back to a 'lost' thread/post and changes it bringing up to the present without the past meaning.
