Sport Fury Convertible Interior View Trunk
|
The trunk caused a bit of controversy before it even hit Columbus. It’s commonly accepted that Chrysler didn’t splatter-paint the trunk compartment, but instead, painted all trunk interiors the body color. But the splatter paint was there—Dwight never added it in the 30-plus years he’s owned the car, and the paint appeared to have been applied by the factory. So, Pioneer matched the splatter pattern and reapplied it, even though most people said, “It shouldn’t be there, so don’t put it back.” Did they make the right decision? Well, the donor car that supplied the new trunk floor and quarters had splatter paint, and we’ve since spotted two C-Bodies (one in Columbus, the other at Chryslers at Carlisle), that had splatter-painted trunks. That doesn’t mean every C-Body had a splatter-painted trunk, but at least four did. The lessons here are to never say never, and if you can document it—even if it goes against what everybody says is correct—put the car back together in the way you found it. View Related Article
