I think they look cool but they originally did not come on those combos. 67 was the first year for the Street Hemis as a WO or an RO S/S package and the 2 door hard tops and sedans were the only Fairlanes with a glass hood and scoop. Was this a change made in recent times? Im just asking when this came about? Was it a letter from Carrol Shelby or mother MoPar?

Jason has run his Belvedere as both a 66 w/o scoop and 67 w/scoop..That was always the argument with Judy Lily's 67 2dr S/S sedan that it supposedly came straight from MaMopar as a RO equipped 2dr sedan. If I remember what I read about it is they made them change it back to a non scooped hood.
