An excellent job, Godfrey - the car & the photography! My, how cars have 
changed since the 60's.

While I was in the hospital, my classic Italian sports car—the 1967 Lancia 
Fulvia Coupé—was in the body shop having some rust repair of the rocker panels 
done. I'm out of the hospital now, and Signora Fulvia is also back at home.

In the course of doing the rust repair, I changed its looks a little bit by 
painting the rocker panels a textured flat black, instead of the matched tan 
body color, and removed the original chrome trim strips that ran under the 
doors on both sides.

The result came out just as I'd hoped: A slightly trimmer, sportier look and 
more in keeping with the early '70s Cromodora wheels that I've now got fitted 
than the late '60s Campagnolo rally wheels that I'd had on the car before.

While that was being done, I had also located the original badging for the rear 
("LANCIA Fulvia" in fine chrome on the transom) and a pair of the 'bumper 
support' caps that cover the spots in the bodywork where the rear bumper supports used to 
come through…

…because everyone, or at least *almost* everyone, with a Lancia Fulvia Coupé 
removes the bumpers to make the car look more like the Lancia Fulvia rally cars 
that won so many races in the late 1960s-early 1970s. :)

Photos made with iPhone 11 Pro using the Moment camera app, raw output, and 
rendered in Lightroom Classic.

Oh yes: My partner, Felipe, picked the car up for me a few days before I 
returned home. He made a few snaps of it with his phone to show me what had 
been done. I put them together into a short video presentation, just for the 
fun of it:

No matter where you go, go there in a Lancia.
