[Shotimes] Re: Convention 2004 DVD

Rick,

Power passenger seat was optional till '99 I think.

I would say that most dealers probably ordered their SHO's 
fully optioned, or at least with the main option package. 
They got a deal on the price.  There were few cloth 
interior, low option cars ordered by dealers, so it isn't 
that suprising that you had a string of high option SHOs.

My '89 has a manual passenger seat.  But even in its base 
version, the SHO was always a high option car, with lots of 
neat features.  Those dual lid visors with dual lighted 
mirrors are nicer than on many 50 grand cars today.  Minor 
thing I know, but the entire car had a lot of neat features, 
some were standard in all Taurus cars.  it took the industry 
a long time to catch up to the Taurus, too bad Ford once 
again sat back on its reputation and didn't keep up with the 
industry.
