brad Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I never heard the back story on that, and would love to know why it's there if other than asthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plwindish Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Other than styling, is there any strength gain on the roof when the fiberglass curves like that around the window openings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron@crall.com Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Lowey was a purist and had a strong personality, the industrial designer version of Frank Lloyd Wright. I am pretty sure that they were placed there because Raymond wanted them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'd go along with Ron on this one....."Raymond wanted them there".....The indents were a styling feature only! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
