That's right JW, we finally confirmed that from the details of the Briggs contract as it was recorded in the minutes of a Board of Directors Meeting.

On another front I'm still slugging away entering into my database the information from the 450 or so 22nd/23rd series cars from the original Vehicle Delivery Records from McCormack Bros Auto Sales of Birmingham, AL. Since I have it handy I'm also recording paint and trim information and some may find it interesting that, at least for cars sold by this dealership, out of about 350 records reviewed thus far,

1. Despite 7 two-tone paint combinations available for the 22nd series cars, only 1 car thus far had two-tone paint. This may well explain why 2-tone paint offerings were dropped for the 23rd series. And just my opinion, but unlike the 21st series which can look stunning in two-tone, the 22nd/23rd never wore 2-tone graciously.

2. The least popular color by a long shot is Sardonyx Brown, only 1 vehicle. Most popular is pretty much a split between Grenadier Maroon, Lowell Gray and Sylvan Green.
