Quality Control Issue?

Mopar quality suffered in the early 70's because of the ongoing war between labor(UAW), and management. It was also going on with Ford and GM. The UAW just sent crap down the line to make their point. GM A bodies usually had a 2 year refresh, but because of labor disputes, The 1972 Cutlass and other GM A bodies, were another extension of the 1970-1971. History has forgotten much of this, but some of us old guys remember this as it happened.
