Re: [BaadAssGremlins] 'Originality' questions (Hornet)

John, I am not sure when/what year AMC started doing this but believe it had 
to do with rattles. I have one in my 71 SC/360 that came out of a 72 Hornet, 
and the 74 Sportabout DL/GX wagon also has one, both have a soft pad, this 
type commonly found around some of the eariler 68-70 AMX AC units, 
disentrigrates on touch. Others, like my 82 Eagle, has a actual pad made of 
different material under there. But I believe the thin pad was to keep the 
package tray from rattling.
