[Shotimes] Plastic Hood Poll

[Donald Mallinson]

That is why I wrote the plus information page.  Every true 
plus I have seen has had the hood.

We have already documented that there are non-plus cars in 
both 1990 and 1991 that got the plus hood.  Probably a case 
of line workers grabbing what was available if the steel 
hood was in low supply.  This is old news.

The literature quoted on the plus page is like ALL 
automotive literature, it is written and produced months if 
not years before actual production.  That something like the 
hood is missing from it is not unusual or surprising.  What 
we have seen with our eyes is the proof.  And we have not 
seen a true plus without the hood.  Some were replaced due 
to delamination or accidents.  We also have proven that 
quite a few Plus SHO's did NOT get the spoiler, this we also 
know as a temporary out-of stock situation, the cars were 
built with what was available, but apparently the plastic 
hoods were in good supply for the entire run.
