[Zmagnette] Discovering some rare Z Magnette models

[Allen Bachelder]

We'll I had a few post-cataract-surgery days when I couldn't work on my '65 B. I'll get back to work now. Just putting front suspension together - rear is next. What stage are you at with your GT?

Holiday cheers.

>> These are currently in my possession.  Of particular interest is the Airportta. Realizing that such a car would require more power, the factory fitted it with a 1622 engine and a 7.37 rear end. Top speed was 43 mph with cruising in comfort at 29-31 mph depending on prevailing winds.  
>>  
>> There is idle speculation that these cars failed in the market place due to their name - which sounded altogether too much like Mag-lemon.  But of course "lemon" is spelled with just one "m"...  Silly!
