[Zmagnette] Discovering some rare Z Magnette models

[James Schulte]

Allen,
I am finally putting the hydrolics back in the engine bay and getting ready to put the engine and tranny in. It's been a long 13 months. 
Just had another 2 biopsies on my face for skin cancer. It never ends. I feel like a pin cushion. Last month I had the floaters and spider web attack in my right eye. No damage to the retina thank God. It's a bitch getting old. Lol

>>> 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!
