I haven=E2=80=99t been focusing on this. So I might be =
misunderstanding. It sounds like Rootes messed up and the tray didn=E2=80=
=99t exactly fit, and they needed to kludge together a bandaid to get =
the cars out the door. And we=E2=80=99ve got dozens of emails going =
back and forth on this kludge.
Reminds me of the show I watched about early Corvette restoration - =
years ago. The expert showed how the AC or alternator bracket paint =
would peel almost immediately after leaving the factory. So he had =
perfected that peeling!
On the other hand, the wood piece was perhaps one of the most =
=E2=80=9Chuman=E2=80=9D parts of the car. All the more reason to honor =
it. Though still very funny.
