<VV> Cowl shake on EM convertible

[Frank DuVal]

My '64 Spyder Convertible I drove for years did not shimmy. Rock solid 
ride through several sets of tires. All radials of some sort, many of 
the 4 for $100 price range. My late model (65) convertible did  shake 
slightly, especially noticable at the rear of the front doors.
