No rear window plug in either of them. Fakes.

You are, naturally, correct. I didnt stop and look before I hit post - profound apologies...

No need to apologize. That's just what some people did with their rides, back then.

Speaking of fakes... this whole CGI / "ai" krap is completely out of hand. Look at this -
I just saw this elsewhere - and NO, I didnt see it on fakebook - and smiled a bit. At first. Then I started to notice some details... The car appears to be a 69 or 70 Ford Galaxie, at first glance. My folks had a 70 - best car ever probably - last time I saw it the thing had 420K on it and the only thing that had ever been done to it was a water pump [which I did as a 14 year old with Dad watching as he had been injured and couldnt bend over to do it] and an exhaust manifold replaced. [there was whole bunch of bad castings - it was pretty common] But, once you get past the awful Appliance brand 5 spokes with whitewall tyres, it begins to fall apart... look at the grille. And the frt bmpr. That doesnt look like any standard production car I have ever seen...[tho the grille looks a bit like an early 70s Dodge Monaco. A bit.] The early 60s Chevy pickup in the background looks OK from what I can tell - which isnt much - and the houses look OK. The people look real. But that yellow car...
So what say y'all? Whomever did this - assuming the car isnt some weird Canadian market variation or something that I dont know about - did a pretty darn good job. The "photo" is aged evenly and the people dont look to be 'inserted'.
My Dad usta tell me, "Son, dont believe anything you hear and only half of what you see..." Apparently I cant even believe that 50% any more.
