Dear Sirs, Thank you for the Door Stops and Jack received. While these Door Stops will be useful to us they are not actually what we meant. We understand the American name for the parts we wanted is "Door Dovetails". We should be very glad if you would let us have a set of these, as fitted to the Series '40' Buick. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
