AA 1851 flies DFW -> GRR = Grand Rapids, MI. Too many years working for a now-defunct airline to not know my IATA codes.

That restaurant listed a food truck in Berrien Springs, MI. Not too far north of South Bend, IN.

https://m.facebook.com/p/India-Garden-100063528821694/?wtsid=rdr_0GE8PlOXw3anElw11

They may also be across the line in Mishawaka, where the restaurant is located.

So it has a blinker switch. Guessing it's '74 or later. Blinker bumps and taillight shape seem to add plausibility to that guess.

At least it's assembled. I bought a '74 Primmy years ago. Still trying to find all the pieces. Not trying too hard, though. I'd like to finish one of the "in-progress" ones first!
