Actually, I *think* it was a door that was damaged and Consolidated 
had one plated that was bit of a mismatch. This car was in Clevlenad 
this past summer and it definitely had a proper hood on it (correct 
for VIN), whereas if it was sold with a SS bonnet, one would think it 
would be a later style hood asthe other hoods were gone at that time 
and the spare panels were made at the time the gold cars were 
originally built.
