@RichOlive – Air Conditioned? ...

Hi, RichOlive: "air conditioned" NO! Good catch! The writer got a little enthusiastic and we thought that reference was removed after the first draft, but apparently it wasn't. No, the only conditioned air is what nature supplies through the open windows or when the top is down; but everything else about this "B" is cool from the lively color to the hardtop and to the luggage rack on the 'boot'! Thanks for pointing out that error--and have a nice Thanksgiving. Classic Car Center
