Re: IML: Joe's '61

[JosephStil@xxxxxxx]

All:

This car DOES have the Mark IV air conditioning system front and rear if that sheds any light.

So far, Gertrude is weird in the following ways:

1)  Imperial hood ornament (I think these were 1962).
2)  The funky, dash-mounted rear-view mirror (picture sent for posting to the site)
3)  Fender mounted turn indicators.
4)  and, of course, the round air outlets mounted in the package shelf.

One more thing, the tranny guy was telling me that the headlights are "T-3s."  Not sure what he meant by that so he explained that these were factory installed only.  After market or replacement bulbs/lamps were not labeled "T-3" which I thought was interesting.

This is fun!
