I think I remember reading this article several years ago and would have to dig to find it. I wish he would have mentioned his source. It seems possible that the transition from Briggs modifications and Budd's full production models could explain the parts drawing changes in Dec. of 28. As far as the rear door and panel wood it is a near wholesale change. I really need to do a comparison as some of the story is the changes within the whole assembly. Just some thoughts from someone who worked in manufacturing for 18 years. Seemed every supplier change began or ended with blue print changes.
If this is the case it also begs the question. Did Briggs continue to provide the wood and hardware to Budd? Since Budd seems to be mainly focused on metal construction and stamping. This would make sence to me, but may not seem rational to others.Rod
