Taking the hard top off lightens up the car and the visibly was great. We were passed by a lot of lumber trucks and anything else on the road. Kind of like driving a Vespa on the highway. My partner on this trip learned to use a stick shift on the hills of san Francisco on this car as I sat in the back deck and took photos. This was my first experience driving a convertible. Amazing we made it back in once piece and alive the car sat in garage for 10 years on block from 64 to 74. A spark plug went out in the last ten miles of the trip coming back into Portland but all the belts held. Yellow headlights. We got a lot of attention.
