[DeTomaso] The Seat Foam-DOT-Wiper Continuum

[Charles Engles]

Dear Mike,


             You wrote:


"The '71 seats are thinner than 
most and have horsehair inside which breaks down, so that you wind up 
literally sitting on the carpet.   Max headroom, min comfort.   The '72 and
later 
seats used normal foam, of differing thickness (the later seats had thicker 
seat foam which raised the driver's head which in turn meant that the wiper 
no longer cleared enough of the area in front of the DOT test dummy's face 
which is why the late '73 and '74 Panteras had the wipers re-jiggered to 
park on the opposite side....)"


            Only you would know that bizarre bit of Pantera esoterica!
