73 Rear A/C

["randy martin" <publicservant1@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all of you who responded to my question re: rear A/c option 
rarity.  Peter really gave me a good idea of what's what with options.  
today I discovered I also have the "Four-Wheel Sure-Brake System" commonly 
referred to today as ABS. I wonder how rare that is. Anyway, as soon as it 
gets back from the body shop I will test it out. Thanks again to all.

Randy
'73 Imperial LeBaron 4dr HT
