RE: IML: Lap rope

Definitely not me. I guess I'm younger than I thought...kinda. I would have 
thought a 62 would have been long past the years of deficient heaters. Did 
alot of different cars have them, or just the top of the lines? The 60 
rumbler american I had 25 years ago sure could have used one. Of course, in 
ND you carried that stuff in the winter time anyway if you traveled much.
