There must be some professional body man out there that can explain why the crooked trim thing is so common. I could give you my 2 cents worth but they don't make pennies anymore. I'm not going to say anything about the colour, its just that I never liked Studebaker Green.

I agree Dave, but are we missing the not too obvious. The Stude' green, I won't even call it colour, is atrocious but is it the trim or is it the bumper that is misaligned? Let's see what the rest of the crew has to say......LOL

It's the bumper..IMHO

Maybe. Just considering the massive weight of most of the parts, I can see where keeping everything aligned might be a problem. I think they even used tons of lead filler to smooth out body panels. I wonder how many of those extended bumpers with the spare wheel carrier fell off?

It's the trim. Project a line along the top edge of the trip piece and see where it takes you. lol...

The fact that they jacked up cars by the bumper could affect the alignment and I know I bumped something with my dads 58 Pontiac and it had a similar outcome. My dad jacked up the car with the jack on the side of the bumper to correct the problem. I never heard of a continental kit falling off ,but that doesn't mean it didn't happen...

Where have all the Lake Pipes gone? Long time passing.....Long time ago !!

 

[Rruuff Day]

I think the waterlines in my house are bigger than those lake pipes. But at least leg burns would be fewer.

You're getting leg burns from your waterpipes? Hmm... did you have a chatbot write that for you?

Salesman says "See boss, I told you if we park in front and make that lane narrow, it'll get people to stop and we can drum up some sales"

Maybe just my eyes but doesn't the bumper look misaligned?

Just a wee tad Rruuff, just a wee tad. Reminds me of a 1980 Dodge Diplomat we had. My wife rear ended another car and the front end got pushed in, but nothing really broken. I got a scissor jack and wedged it between the frame and the front support, put the boots to and it straightened up. I suppose though those two cars might need more than a scissor jack.

Found this pic, same car, one passenger one driver shot. The P side the bumper and the trim line up the D side it does not. This is a bit of mystery but since we don't own nor waiting on a C8 what else have we got to do?

I don't think the parking lot is what they meant with "Crumple Zones"! lol
