I'm not saying never, I'm saying show me the build sheet if you claim your
Chryplodge D-300D came from the factory that way. It's just too easy to do
it now and make up a story.

Picture it, 1957, Chrysler has the style people are going crazy for, they
can barely keep up with orders and are putting on extra staff. You really
think they're gonna slow down the line to make freak cars?

Dodge options on a Dodge for some racing promo, heck yeah, there's something
it it for Chrysler, race on Sunday and sell on Monday. Special interiors,
why not, if they fit without a lot of effort. But '59 Dodge front clip
specially made without side trim hung on a '58 Chrysler, come on!
