From the house of over-restored,' if you have to ask' vehicles. I could envision myself pulling in to Alice's Restaurant on Skyline Blvd in this gem on a Sunday morning. |

They've taken the 1/4 windows away - that's not kosher! They are one hell of a tough car. I drove a loaded up diesel tray back one across the middle of Oz on one of the toughest roads imaginable. It ate it up. But it's battery was not so happy. The corrugations fatigued the battery casing, and or the lead busbars inside and shook the plates loose. The battery was dead one morning and it was open circuit! I never heard of that happening before, or since. Trying to hide from entropy John K |
