My interpretation – flares added later. ....

Harold - I see in the Registry (p135) that in 1974 when still a LHD in America, 2151 was wearing < 8" mag wheels >, so is it safe to assume that 2151 needed flared guards to cover these wheels in 1974, and then when Bill Bridges eventually bought the car in around 2003, he modified the existing flares to very adequately accommodate (see posted pic) < Black 7.5" Halibrands >?
But hey, I'm splitting hairs, yes? These are all nice, modified CSX2xxx cars with history!

Cheers,
Glen
