- From what I remember of my Dad's 1959, there was no gas gauge in these cars.CyBrainX
- Now, that I looked closer, I see a gauge. I guess they "modernized" in the 60s.CyBrainX

Mr. Bean is no longer a fan of Electric cars
I love electric vehicles – and was an early adopter. But increasingly I feel duped
Rowan Atkinson- It takes 250 tonnes of Earth dug up to make a 1 tonne EV car battery.shapesalad
- It takes geopolitic tiles with 3 countries to manufacture and run petrol cars. 14 countries for EV to work. You better have good Geopoltics to sustain ev.shapesalad

- This is due to all the commodities / chips required for RV cars. It's a big team effort...shapesalad

Ok, the deal on the white one fell through, so I picked up the one. It's a 68, no rust, lowered, original paint and interior.
I have some work ahead with the paint, but it's going to be worth it.
