Seniors

Air cooled rear engine, weight on the rear drive wheels that could burble along through hazardous winter conditions, through the slickest ice and snow without losing traction.
Disadvantage of the Air cooled engine was a tendency to vaporlock the carburetor in summer heat, lose speed then quit, testing patience of passengers when pulled over roadside hopefully finding a shady spot to sit with the engine hood open waiting for it to cool down enough to swallow gasoline again. I kept a spray bottle to spritz the engine little at a time, shortening the waiting period considerably to get going again.
Yet the very best feature that little car had was a roll-open sunroof. That was great fun for throwing water balloons. Our little crew got a bit notorious for that one summer.
