By the way nice looking flattie you have. Definitiely a keeper!

Value is somewhat determined by originality and rarity. The nice thing is that they stopped making the WL in 1951 so yours is at the end of a long string of flatties that started in 1936.

If you got someone whon knows an AMCA judge they are probably the best (and the most anal) in regards to originality/correctness for year model.

Y2K, yes they did make the 45 up to 73 but they were designated the G model servicar.
