Yes it was plywood; nice plywood but plywood none-the-less. There are also safety concerns as plywood is flammable and splinters in crashes. That is not to say that i do not agree with you about the old wood trimmed cars but that is not coming back for a number of reasons beside cost. Basically we have never had it so good in cars, cameras and canned tuna. John Collier On Sep 17, 2004, at 8:12 PM, Jeffery Smith wrote: > That was sort of my point.
