I do prefer the older ones with those ribs in them but I haven't been able to find a reliable source for them in the last five years Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

The last few Accel 120323's I bought were tan, and they had the ribs on the inside. They were made in Chy-na though. July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P. Jimmie.
