I’m just indicating the number of portolet’s , nothing to do with your post, Sleeper.
As for the script in the trunk lid , the photo is to grainy to read it. That and it’s easy to stick a nameplate or badge on a car to make it something it’s not! Like or trucklets and people who stick SS badges on the doors of an LT or LS

LOL sorry didnt see it...
It is a 51 Buick Special Hardtop ( rare as most had side posts )
It started by pressing the gas pedal down ( pretty cool )
An ex girlfriend got it from her boss as a Christmas gift instead of a pay raise ( he had too many cars and wife was making him downsize )
I helped her work on it, after she got married it sat in the field at their farm and I acquired it after 10 years. I rewired it and redone the entire interior in silver crushed payne and paint over the winter season in my basement.
After owning it a few years mainly sitting in my garage only driven occasionally on the weekends I sold it to a collector. If I would have kept it I would have chopped and dropped it as well as drop a built motor and trans in it, the original torsion suspension floated like a boat.
