RE: IML: OT 1954 New Yorker to be Auctioned April 2, 2005 in Iowa

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

This car was probably previously owned by a guy like you, D^2 - he just
bolted the accelerator linkage to the wide open position, and didn't bother
with fine adjustments.

Daily driver?  Dick, this car does not have brakes!  Literally.  Look at the
interior picture (second from left).  There is only one pedal there.  Or may
be
that's the brakes pedal, and the car does not have a throttle.  May be its
throttle by wire, and there is a connector that plugs into the driver's
brain.

OK, that's 1954, may be not :)
