#6 is a the trunk lid of a 1956 chevrolet. Pretty offensive for a connoisseur of classic cars since the 56 chevy is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. lol. These women know a lot about dating and relationships, which is why I read (becasue I don't). But not a lot about vintage car parts. =)

A lot of the items in the gallery are "priced upon request". So that probably means that if I have to ask how much the item is, then I probably can't afford it in the first place! LOL

The trunk lid is definitly not from a 1969 car. It is from a 1955,56,or 57 Chevy some of the most popular Chevys ever made. They were refered to as shoebox Chevy's.
