Smitty Says; In 57 I was working for Phillips 66 in Bartlesville OK at the
fleet garage. We handled and maintained every vehicle purchased by the
company, doing all dealer prep before the cars and trucks went out to the
plants. Pure horror stories on some of the cars. Two I remember well were
were a rear view mirror on a Plymouth installed with body putty because the
sheet metal screws had been stripped out. The foreman said just move it
over a half inch and drill two more holes. When I pulled the putty off
there were three pairs of stripped out holes there. And a Ford with three
un-ground lobes on the camshaft. Lots of door trim panels with missing
clips. And it was almost weekly to find a bolt hanging on a string inside a
door.
