Re: factory use of bondo

A story I was told from one of my grandpa's buddies who worked at the GM Van Nuys plant in the late 50s/early 60s said that when it was time for model change at the end of the production year, one of the line supervisors would go down rows of cars ready to ship and he had himself a clipboard and a hammer. He would go down the line and smack so many cars so that the body/paint and finish parts of the line (who had the most seniority) would not be laid off during the downtime while the line was updated for the next model year. So probably quite a few cars with bondo in the from the factory.
