Mine also has the rear defogger option. Any idea where your car was sold when new?

Congratulations to you on the 500 !!  A lucky man indeed !! In your pictures you posted, it looks like it has a 22" radiator. Without A/C, I guess, the 500's did come with the 22" radiator unless ordered or made with the max cooling package. The car also looks to be R6 Red but the picture of the engine compartment shows the fender tag removed. Lighting can do funny things to pictures and my color blindness might be working here and it is a R4 colored car. Do you have it or the broadcast sheet or the tag put away as I am just wondering about the color. It looks like one of the best "survivor 500's" out there.

panhead

The car I believe was sold new in Washington State, or Oregon. It has a 22" core with only a two row. The car is a R-4, The engine bay was repainted in it life time, don't no when, but the outside is OEM paint to my knowledge. The fender tag is secured. No build sheet.

In pictures, it is hard for me to tell the color. Especially the reds with my colorblindness problem. Not totally colorblind and have the most trouble with "earth tones" rather than red and green. Anyway, really nice 500 and keep her rolling shiny side up !!!

RallyeMike

QuoteThe car I believe was sold new in Washington State, or Oregon.

Well that would sure explain the rear defogger! The high humidity and constant rain on the West sides of the State made them almost mandatory. My first car, a 69a did not have one and you pretty much just learned to drive without being able to see anywhere but forward.

Congrats on you new toy.

Good afternoon Folks,

I have noticed that I haven't posted a picture of the 500 with it's stripe on it. Hard to believe just how much that it changed the look.

Also I just got a new laptop and windows 10.
So I'm learning how to post pictures all over again   :brickwall:

Car looks good with or without stripe!  Love the lines of that backlight.  So did the Monogram photographer (seen here researching an upcoming Pro-Modeler kit 1998-ish).

We have a C-500 in the area (south east Wisconsin I think is its home) with no stripe.  Apparently was taken off very early in life (possibly when sold new: I forget the story).  Since it was iconic, no stripe put on after restoration. 

So, are there any documented C-500's without the stripe from factory?  Thanks.
