OK, here goes..... My significant other has been aggrivating me about
air conditioning one of the LBCs. Probably she would like the 70
Midget for that purpose (it wears a semi permanent hardtop). What has
undone me is in that here in central Florida one of the ads that runs
frequently is, "we can air condition anything with an engine". I have
told her, despite the ads, it cant be done. So as a compromise I will
put it on the list....for some reason she believes that the
"collective wisdom" of the list far exceeds mine....go figure. Has
anyone ever owned or even seen a Midget with AC? Say it aint so,
Larry
