No rust yet??? It sure looks like it has a CMC/early IM cast hibachi rear engine grill. Plus the mirror is a later style Durant mirror not used until 1965-ish. I think Chris is pulling a fast one on us! A picture of the inside of the shiny red one would show a VW pan, I bet. Looks like a custom tow bar receiver on it too.
The give-away on Chris's not being real is that the horn grills aren't cut out (or painted black). I do love the patina look on Chris's.
