I lived in Missouri for 30+ years. There are virtually no decent old cars. Half the people in the state live on gravel roads which slowly degrades the cars underneath as it builds up dirt and mud and holds moisture. , Nearly the entire state uses salt on the roads in the winter. The summers are hot and humid and destroy interiors. The Winters are bad and the extreme temps crack the dashes along with the summer heat.

That 340 Demon may have belonged to my dad, once upon a time. He had one the same color when I was a little kid in the 1970s. We lived in Poplar Bluff, Missouri back then. There couldn't have been many of those cars. What are the odds there were 2 of them, the same color in the same state?

those trunk racks on celebrities were sold at dealer auctions with a bunch of other add ons you could put on your auction cars when you bought lease and rental cars to doll them up to sell. Back in the late seventies and eighties some of the dealer auctions in mo. had wholesalers who would sell dozens of lease and rental cars dolled up to sell easier. Even their were cars with miles rolled off by crooked dealers.
