<div>I remember talking with Gerry Coker about this in an interview I did with him. He also told me about the design of bringing the swage line past the rear wheel opening. He thought it should end at the opening, but since folks wanted to two tone the cars
and needed a line to follow, Donald asked him to continue the line and send his suggestions to the body makers. And the rest as they say, is history. But if you notice the early cars do not have a swage line that flows past the rear wheel opening.</div>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">If you have a copy of the Austin Healey 100 service manual take a look at the very first factory illustration on page iii. It shows the correct installation. The story is that Gerry Coker was looking for a detail to
break the slab sided aspect of the car by emphasizing the sweep of the swage line to enhance the overall design. He found the shape he wanted by breaking one of his long, narrow pen nibs in half and using that for his model. To place the blunt end of the spear
forward would be counter to the overall aesthetic he was looking for. I think of it as an arrow or a spear in flight.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">My opinion, but evidently the manufacturer's also.</p>

<div>Bob, you think the spears are correct on this car? Really? And you're so detailed on your other comments. I don't want to come off as a know it all, because I know very little about these cars, but every factory photo I've ever seen of an Austin Healey
doesn't match with this photo from Hyman's car.</div>
