Wow. That is beautiful.
I’ve been around this hobby since the early 1980s and do not recall this car.
Gene’s comments are right on target. Black was not original. The headlight mounts should be painted body color (so should the headlight buckets! except for ’50 and ’51 TDs). Yes, painted door hinges are correct.
This is the best TD history site I’ve run across. The link is to the paint and finishes page. But take some time and wander around the entire site.
