The Superbird Wing Was Not "Idiotically-Ineffective" or "Dumb"

moparspares said

I think the trunk lid did hit the wing so a little plate was welded on the hinge acting as a stop so it would not hit the wing. I agree that the wing was not built that high to prevent the trunk from hitting it. It was all about the aerodynamics with air passing over it to keep down force over the wheels so I beleive.

Correct Sir on the 'Hinge-Stops'

Small steel blocks {1 1/2" x 1"} are welded to the top of the hinges, to limit the trunk-lid travel.

Plymouth Engineers stated that >

The Hinge-Stops were put on {welded}, to prevent Superbird owners from squashing
their fingers when opening the trunk, and wedging their fingers between the Trunk-Deck
Lid and Air-Foil.
