Ralph:
If you need to make a quick decision (past "I like, I want"), check any dates printed on the cars. Not always reliable, but it's a least a guide and an excuse. If the BLT date is reasonable (up to 30 years before your date) you can also look at any info like REPACK which would give you a date the car was serviced. Of course, the servicing dates could be changed with decals or a sharp brush.
