Owen -

I'm wondering, now, if the Exec you cited is the same as the one I remember. That car had a three & over gearbox mated up to the Caribbean engine and was painted Norwegian Forest over Dover White, with dark green all-leather upholstery, but it had the radio delete plate. I can't recall the details of the brakes for that car, but will try to dig up the magazine from my collection.

Meanwhile, the casual observer (including me) might have thought that the rail-type footrest in that car was a hassock. The hassock in that prewar car certainly was a lot more upscale than what was offered in later years.
