I have a 61 with what looks like an original engine compartment.
When I started looking into replacing some of the worn decals I found the
repro sources of decals didn't match what I had. For example, I have the
oval shaped
" Imperial " valve cover decals that ore old and worn, but these are sold
for 60 Imperials. It looks to me that the factory used up what they had
in stock. It would be interesting to if there are any other variations in
other cars. Now, if I ever repaint my valve covers, do I use the oval
decals originally found on my car or the "correct" 61 decals ?
