[AT] Some ads from the 12/31 Lancaster Farming

George, you just live too far north for those car parts to be named
"correctly."  Farmer's almost right in his explanation, but even he is
living too far north to get the accent right.  It's called a dawg house!

Larry and all,

I think it must be a local thing.  We've always known them as rear clip
or
front clip.  In either case it is a complete assembly, often with trim
removed.

Maybe it's an indication of where the salvage guy was raised?
