Obviously the car has been through some things in it's life. Yet interesting to see that behind the grille only the upright appears to be black.

Probably going by the paint chips around the grille opening.

I wonder how it came to sit on what look like 5J 10" Firsats. Quite unusual, especially in the US.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!
