    Robert's cars are from the 1940's (build date) I think and have square hatches. MT's car is from the late 1950's and round hatches.

    kind of reminds me of the story of the person who couldn't tell his two horses apart. to make along story short ... he discovered that the brown one had a little bit shorter tail than the white one.

    That is a good one David, but is so true. When you dont know, its hard to tell the difference. I wouln't be able to tell the difference a U30 and C30 if my life depended on it.
