1967-8 Rear Air and controls

["Dick Benjamin" <DickB@xxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting.  Do you recall what the illuminated label on the dash said for
this feature's control?   The plain air rear fan is labeled "REAR AIR" on my
68.  Perhaps the rear heated air device was called "REAR DEF"?  There isn't
room for much more on the label.

For those without these features, there is a provision for additional
feature controls along the lower portion of the left side of the dash.  This
is where the twilight sentinel, auto pilot, rear air and convertible top
controls go. There is a provision for illumination of the controls, with
optional metal panels (brass or wood covered for 68/67s) to hide the
workings behind the panel.

I have already rebuilt my two 67's headlight switches, so it's too late for
me, but there is an NOS 67/68 headlight switch running on eBaY right now.
