If they were produced, would the aluminum ones then be considered less desirable  . |
The body of the Cougar II was U.S. Royal's "Royalite" composite.....at least it is SUPPOSED to be that material. I was told that that they were unable to mould the Royalite as advertised and that the actual car is good old FRP! No psitive if that is true b ut it came from someone at Ford engineering some years ago. Royalite was promoted as dent resistant, dimensionally stable and cheap to produce, you know, like the bodies on a Staurn!!!!!
