Took my 65 2+2 for a drive recently. Traffic ahead of me was stopped for a red light so I stepped on the brake to prepare to stop about 50 yards ahead of me. Going about 35 so this was no panic...

Cargo, that’s good info. I wonder if this could be one of those assembly plant differences. I’m also wondering what the purpose of a stud would even be in this area. I looked through my copy of the...
