bottom area of the 500k. first look at the crank hole. then look at the bottom edge of the grill. there doesnt look to be any shell. it seems to disappear into the sheet metal.

the grill in the picture has a full wrapped bottom. it is designed to be attached to the hood like the later cars, i think.

damned nice looking 500k though.
