<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">The & changed to "and" shortly after WWII when R H Smith learned that the & is an abbreviation, and not a word. As for gold stripes, only the 1023 and 1024 ever had them. They were applied when these two DE's were chosen for the 1946 Powhatan Arrow, and they were removed after the 1949 cars replaced them.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Jim Nichols</div><div><br></div>
