Don't remember that, but my dad had a '69 Rambler that was, I believe, one of the last to have vacuum wipers instead electric...they were great, cuz they were variable speed at a time when few electric wipers had delay (something we needed very much in this part of the world). Also a lot of fun one time when I was driving 2 of my school buds home...they had never seen that type of wipers before, & they were both tripping on acid...so they weren't sure if the wipers were really moving slowly, or just their altered perceptions...total freak-out time for them
PS Irish, I think I do remember my dad telling me not to set the parking brake in cold weather...only applied about six weeks out of the year in the South...
