I just noticed something else on the floor of that Stude that I haven't thought about in years. Some had a heater core under the passenger seat. I know the President did, but I can't remember if that was for backseat heat, or if that was the only heater core in the car. It seems like the President will blow heat down from the dash too, but it's been a while since I've driven one.
Car pics too cool not to share

I owned a vehicle that had a heater core under the front bench seat (which side, I cannot remember). However, I've long since forgotten what vehicle it was. In fact, if you hadn't of brought it up, I'd likely have gone the rest of my life never thinking about such things again.

You're welcome.
I did not know this. There weren't many around where I lived and they all seemed to be Conquests. I didn't spend a lot of time in my friends car, maybe drove it for 2.5 hours, but I recall it being well made and appointed.
It is, sharp, angular and 80's, but I'm with you on the first gen cars as well. I think the design cues are definitely "of the time" as well and very Japanese.
Not Mine...... I find this sort of ingenuity very COOL.
My son & I built this sprint car inspired 1927 Ford Roadster from a crashed late model Alfa Romeo Spider , I converted it to twin Weber carbs , added an early cam cover & detailed it. What a blast to drive along with the factory 5 speed transmission & Alfa rear axle,

Family-Owned Jeep Museum Opens In Utah!
A family with roots in off-roading has opened a Jeep museum in Fillmore, Utah. The Jeep Guy Museum has over 50 Jeeps on display, ranging from 1941-2023 model years, including 17 military Jeeps/trailers. Fun fact: The collection includes Jeeps acquired from 19 countries/states. The museum is owned by Zach and Katherine Harkness, who have a long history with Jeeps. The catalyst for The Jeep Guy Museum was seller’s remorse. You see, a long time ago Zach and Katherine sold a 1944 GPW. Instant regret followed, so for over 15 years the couple has kept all the Jeeps they rescued. The goal is to preserve as many Jeeps as they can. In fact, it is said that Zach “…has a crazy passion to rescue and preserve at least one original example of each Jeep.”
It's not a frequent thing, but it's still happening here. Back during high school, a friends' dad got busted cooking a few hundred gallons of mash, and my dad can remember seeing three runners (in pursuit) in person back in the 60-70s.
We had illegal shine up here in the PNW too but not like the stories from other places.
