laminated or plyed like FRT plywood. He does have an extinguisher but never needed it.
Here's a photo of a 1967 Chevelle with the same set up... no fire.

Case-in-point, somewhere near Watkins, there's a pimply-faced kid with a mess on his front seat. He pulled out in front of me thinking, innocently enough, that I could either yank it over into the left lane like a new Honda Accord, or apply the brakes like modern Toyota. The look of his face in his rearview mirror with my monkey-faced grille bearing down on him and the old 6-volt horn powered with 12 volts blasting, told the whole stinky story...slim

I can't stop laughing!!!
