Fossil Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Back in the late sixties we had one of the sedans like this traded into our Toyota dealership. I just couldn't cozy up to it. It smoked and made funny noises. They weren't very big either. Now I'm thinking it would be kind of neat to own one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 By '67 they had a gizmo that injected a little oil into the gas as you drove and smoke was greatly reduced. The earlier cars needed the oil to be mixed with the gas at fill-up, which made them dual purpose: transportation and Mosquito abatement. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Races always sounded like a bunch of angry bees going crazy. Sadly, everything is a 4 stroke today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
