That is interesting. If Leeedy comes along and sees this he should be able to tell us if either or both of those features were on the Jean Peters/Howard Hughes 55 Carib, as I recall that car is #108 and has been quite thoroughly photo-documented and pretty much untouched since the day it was delivered, still less than 1000 miles as I recall. I'm going to shoot him off an email and ask him directly.

UPDATE: Just had a email from Leeedy. The Jean Peters 55 Carib (#108) does not have a hood prop rod. Leeedy's belief is that (my assumption -up until the running change was made to include them) they were not factory installed but rather done so at the request of the dealer or owner. A bit curious perhaps that no notice was made of the hood prop in either the TSBs or Service Counselors (or was there one that I have forgotten?).
