1961 Communicates with 2012

We took the Rambler out for a drive yesterday.  Destination: Bayfield.  She performed well although her dashboard light has decided to conk out.  Good thing we got home before dark.  

It amazes me that we can charge an iPhone in the lighter socket of this 51-year-old car.

I always feel like we’re on a date in this ol’ gem and as if I should be wearing a long white scarf, even though it’s not a convertible.

There are no seatbelts.  They didn’t come standard so they don’t have to be installed.  The air conditioner’s temperature depends on how fast you go and how low you roll the windows!  It purrs like a kitten and it runs really well.  And it is at least partly compatible with the technology of today.

  1. That type of air conditioning, is referred to as 4:60. You wind down all 4 windows and go 60 KPH!
