One big thing people didn't like on the CAV cars was that they painted the back sides of the hood, trunk and doors with wrinkle bedliner.

Thanks Sal. I think 4758 is a hybrid of sorts, since both the underhood and trunk are finished as nicely as the rest of the exterior on the car. Plus, John Ross, a forum member, took pictures of the car during assembly, some of which he sent to me and are in my gallery. It looks like the chassis was delivered without any suspension affixed to it and then assembled at SAI. Gary Patterson told me the body was made at the prison on the outskirts of LV and finished and painted at SAI.
