Hood insulation Poll. Yes or no?

[A56]

Not on a Lynch Road tag, but it's on the Broadcast sheet...

So now I'm curious about undercoating. My brand new A56 wasn't ordered it was just purchased right off of the truck and it had the hood pad, but I don't recall now if it had undercoating.

No. Hood insulation was optional, and usually part of the undercoating package, for sound deadening.

J55 is FULL undercoating vs the normal wheel well areas only. You'd... or at least I would think this would be something for a snowbelt car, but mine came out of Texas!

That's my thinking since all of our family MoPars were purchased in NJ where rust never sleeps.

My GTS convertible does NOT have undercoating, but did have a hood pad when we got it. Original sales bank car sold new in Detroit. I took it out shortly after purchase and will never put one back in. While the pad, itself, may not be flammable the build up of oil over the years most certainly is.
