We once had a fellow with a 70 Chrysler 300 Hurst that had round chrome
tailpipe extensions on it. Got really upset losing points for them as
not original. He showed a Factory Promo Photo with the round ends as
"Documentation" but it didn't fly as none of the cars came that way. It
was an early photo for the Dealers.
Hursts have a flat 2 chambered very expensive (now in SS) extension.

Yeah, hi, Dick; of course you can't even believe Factory
LITERATURE/documents (let -alone: "advertising") ; so, the 'best'
thing,
to do, before altering/restoring, or even selling an original car is to
photograph "everything", to document the car's condition, because, once
an item is removed, and renovated, or replaced with a similar piece,
the
car, and its parts' O.E.M. provenance is subject to question .
An unavoidable situation is that, once a car changes-hands several
times, "TALE-fins" , regarding its history, become facts.
Anyone care to imagine what the bogus created-provenance would have
been, had the 1961 Plodge 'made' it onto the pages of Hemming's Classic
Car magazine?
The 'earlier' 1961 all-red "Marilyn Monroe" Super D500 convie started
life as a blue 361 convertible-I've got a photo of it, the day its
'restorer' bought it, with him sitting inside it.
