[Healeys] Healey wood

[Curt/Nancy Arndt]

Listers,

Great, I agree, wood frame cars are constructed of ash.  So buy a Morgan and
join the Morgan list ;-)

Healeys *are not* wooden frame cars and as such what wood in them can be
Oak, Mahogany, plywood (and possibly whatever else was available at the
time) as Alan Seigrist has already stated.

Cheers,

Curt
