My very early '55 C-300 has a rather ugly factory-looking undercoat on the underside of the hood. The car was shipped to Roswell, NM in March '55. I recall being told that undercoating was standard on 1955 300's unless the car was shipped to specified areas, like CA.

I would suspect it may have been a dealer option, although I don't "know" that. Johnnie Slayton (a most knowledgeable 55 & 56 individual), what say you? Happy Holidays!

Seen a few original cars with this treatment. Perhaps these were later in the 300B run to further reduce noise. What is the consensus on this?
