Hood Insulation?

[Dunkin]

Did the original Avanti's have hood mats of any type? Thanks

[Gunslinger]

Early Avanti’s had insulation covering the underside of the front half of the hood due to a hood cross-brace.  Partway through the production run the brace was dispensed with and insulation covering nearly the entire under hood area was used.

Thank you.
