Norwood Chevrolet side inspectors used paint chips to accept bodies from Fisher Body. Paint in smaller batches at Fisher Body was also hand measured and tinted by eye to a match with a chip. </div></div>


&quot;What a joke..&quot; Everyone knows these were cookie cutter and built by machines..!!.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] </div></div>
