Another reason why the front ends may not hold the paint as well or fade faster than the rest of the body is because the front filler panels were made of plastic or fiberglass and didn't hold the paint as well as the metal body panels?I have a 1971 Catalina 4-door parts car and the front end is faded worst than the rest of the car.I've noticed this on the 1971-72 LeMans also,where they have a body-colored filler panel up front.
