Excellent video, thanks!

One curious operation... At the trim line transfer to body storage, @ 4:27, nozzles below the line fill the body with a gas of some sort. Let's get a few ideas as to the purpose if this operation?

One possibility: Steam, blown in to shrink/tight up headliner wrinkles.

Another idea: That's the installation of the "New Car Smell".

Great video!...I hadn’t seen that one either. I like the egg-beater drill and the Yankee screwdriver when he was putting in the package tray...Mark

Thank you. Very hands on work. I like to think one of the 38 Coupes could be the one I have today.

And a tack spitter in action near the beginning. Sad at the end where they all had to open their jackets to get out.

Interesting, hadn't seen that one, is the plant still in operation?
