Can anyone tell me if the '53 Caribbeans had a hood insulation pad?? I've had several '53 Caribbean owners tell me they did & some say they did not! With the hood scoop it seems it would be possible they did not! But one owner tells me he has a very low mileage '53 and it has remnants of insulation! Also I see some with a black vinyl type pad but some say it was yellow insulation????? What is the consensus of the owners & experts here on the forum?? Thank you
