    I love how the listings in the ad tell you what specific tire size your muscle car will get: F60-15RWL...raised white lettering, just like in NASCAR.

    The ad says 35 MPG, but Dad got above 50 MPG, with the '66 1.3L engine, last model year for the 6 volt electrical system. And enough poop to get all seven of us from Tigard, OR to Mountlake Terrace, WA. God, I love that story.

    I read 32. That they're underestimating shows how honest some manufacturers were. Nowadays, it seems they are advertising best possible results only
