With the President onwards, either Premier started to use a better plastic or increased the thickness of material used. Never again did I see the conical deformation of the hooded cowl.
Oh How true, now I know, both my Dadu and Dad were taking me for a ride (when I changed it for the better stuff) about it being a design feature to see the instruments better!!

I just showed them that even without that "peak" you could easily see, no issues, only looked a zillion times better!
