Scott et al,
CT1272L has the standard T handle for the trunk lid. I believe it to be
original as the trunk has the original prop rod intact and still has the
unbadged (badgeless?) skin panel. CT1272L still has the domed instrument
glass and the bright metal surround for the center cluster. Sadly the short
bulge bonnet is no longer with the car, lost to a minor accident by my
guesstimation.
