    The most worthless description you'll ever see, but the car is gorgeous. I always love the two-tones, and the white over blue is especially good-looking.

    The option choices on the 1970s cars are so interesting. Here we have power seat but manual windows.[​IMG]

    Probably a 20-something kid selling grandpa's car to get some money to buy................whatever.
    And the kid knows next to nothing about what he has, or anything else, for that matter.

    Well at least we can't accuse the seller of passing on incorrect information, or over hyping it!

    Good looking car.

    Low option all right, doesn't even have a clock. Yet it has power seats... That was definitely interesting times to buy a car!

    Not atypical for an elderly buyer or just someone watching the pennies. You ordered what you needed. Power seats make it easy to adjust them, something that might be a bit harder to do as you get older if there are multiple drivers of the car. I always thought that power seats are a more practical than power windows or locks.

    The '73 Custom Cruiser I owned until a few years was very similarly equipped. It had the basics, like air-conditioning and a power tailgate. But no power windows or locks, no cruise control, tilt wheel, or even trip odometer, and base AM radio. But it did have power seats. I bought it from the original owners, and the husband and wife were of considerably different heights, so constant adjustment of the front seat position was going to be the norm. Make that job a little simpler by ordering power seats.
