Yes, I have heard of that. In a Mopar Action (?) interview with John Herlitz. He designed the 70 'Cuda & 71-72 Roadrunner & Sattelites. But I honestly didn't know what it meant. Good Interview, btw.

Nothing; just had to throw it in.

hahaha! how's about: Dead Cat Hole
The space between a car's tire and the wheel well. Currently there is a trend towards smaller dead cat holes. This term is named due to the fact that, in winter, many domestic cats try to seek shelter in wheel wells of recently parked cars, in an attempt to stay warm. Sometimes referred to as Dead Cat Space.
