Unfortunately, I owned it long after its hey-day. The gasoline heater would pump smoky carbon-monoxide directly into the passenger compartment, which -- in Wisconsin, in the dead of winter -- meant that we either froze to death or asphyxiated. We usually chose the former, which meant that poor Mary had to scrape the windshield -- on the INSIDE -- in order for me to see. (Hey, at least she kept warm that way!) ummm... yeah... speaking of windshield... My windshield wipers had a work/not work ratio similar to the starter. I spent many rainy nights driving down the road with my right hand on the wheel, and my left arm getting soaked using my left hand as a windshield wiper! That car sucked!!! I sure do miss it... ;-) Cheers, Todd A couple of friend were on a long trip when the wiper motor gave up in their VW Beetle, but they found a remedy in a piece of string; opening the small ventilation windows on both doors, the string was threaded through outside and tied to the wipers, then the passenger acted as motor ![]() |
