Re: British & American Glossery

the "ery" is a typo - the spelling is the same

wing = fender
drophead = convertible
earth = ground
dickey seat = rumble seat
lucas electronics = darkness
scuttle = cowl

a rocker panel is the part of the car body between the wheel openings and below the doors. I think this is the sill in British. The American usage of sill refers only to the visible portion when the door is open
