The owners of a local 356b with 110hp just keep grinning. We see it out 9 or 10mo of the year. Local shop owned by a 2nd generation Air cooled Porsche. Fanatic keeps the variety of air cooled porsche"s.

Back around 1965, Ford used to stage “Mustang Road Rallies” in order to bolster interest in Mustangs, but cars of any make could be entered in the competition.

But, the worst part was my frozen feet, as a result of the pathetically-poor heater. Also, we lost our headlights a few times on unlit rural roads with which we weren’t familiar. I’m guessing that Lucas electrical components were responsible for the intermittent headlights.
Most of my Chrysler products had corroded headlight dimmer switches that caused intermittent headlight failure. In my case, I couldn’t blame an English ghost for my vehicle’s electrical failures.
