Yes, you are certainly correct. There is also a 24' Touring on the same website that has the same patina. Can anyone tell me the purpose of the front bar attached between the two front fenders? Not a light support since it does not connect.

Fender cross-braces

The previous ranch owners of this car witnessed the front wheels leaving the ground as a result of "wing lift" from the flapping of the front fenders, and added the brace to keep her on the ground. the seller.

A friend bought a three pedal in a crate in France and had it shipped here last year.
