Hi Wes

Thanks for the posting, Wilbur Shaw seems to have been impressed with new power steering. If it retains any road feel compared to the GM and Chrysler systems he had reason to be.

Interesting the beefed-up rear axle was said to be fit for use in the ambulance. And he reached 102 mph on the track.

Have to agree deletion of the "bottle-openers" was an improvement along with the side trim rearrangement and grille insert.

Steve

Steve, Glad you enjoy, I find it interesting and hopefully this answers some of the questions from the past.
Here is another another page I found in February 1953.
