I assumed it was an aftermarket thing, similar to the bed linings used today that are sprayed in. If this is factory, then this will simplify my restification of this car, since I had planned on removing all this and painting the top body color. Did they do this in 1963? I haven't found the build sheet as yet, but I expect it would tell this. Thanks in advance for anyone who might be able to clear this up. Danny
