No that is not normal. Due to shortages of disc brake rears some WS6 cars got the drum brake rears.

Plans are to slowly fix it up and drive the wheels off of it. Has some minor rust in the rear quarters.

Re: New to me 91 Formula

From that picture, you could see how gm engineers redesigned the body curves based off the 91/92 nose. Black, that nose, and formula are a great combo. It looks really good.
