Talking about the hockey sticks.
I have run into a dead end on a Special Order 73 black vert I have. Not even Marti can tell me what was in the special order. You need the records from the DSO and they seem to be long gone. I even contacted Ford and they had nothing. The only thing that Marti can tell me is that it was a Special order and was black since the original door sticker was in place and not painted over. The build sheet was in horrible shape but I sent it to Marti and he pointed out the Special Instructions section on the lower half of the sheet. There are three special instructions and one is to "Install Argent Bumper". The remains of the Argent side stripes are on the edge of the door also but at a dead end getting real proof. We know the car had black paint, argent front bumper, and probably argent hockey stick stripes and argent on the flat hood.
The buck tag was gone so nothing there. I went back to Dearborn where I got the car and the PO did not know who the original owner was. Going to contact dealer if still open and see if by chance they have old records.
