arugg!

I have Video that shows this Line in action,that is how I know!!
These are NOT to be confuised with the HAND BUILT cars,they were HAND 
assembled cars,teams were assigned to these 40 or so cars,to do what 
had to be done,before the production cars came rolling down the 
assembly line. All the Pre-production cars HAD engine covers that 
were WHITE on the inside part(where the stickers were placed).(I 
would guess for easy identifaction before the vin plates were 
installed)leather dashes,Rivited on panels under the tubular control 
arms on the rear of the cars(production cars had welded on ones)
Basically ALL the parts were Delivered (normal)parts for production 
cars,but these cars,were hand assembled.All used Black interiors.
