Hi Russell,

If the hides were loaded loose, I'll bet that an XP designation simply 
means it is a car restricted to a specific kind of service.  What 
would the corrosion stains around the doorways look like?  Just rusty, 
or would a crust of salt build up along the bottom of the door frame 
and the side sill?

Thanks,
