LOL Mine too, it also gets you wet, noisy and windblown with a max speed of 55mph.

That ad is always good for a laugh in the Healey community. It's a legit ad from the '60s, but even when they offered a convertible top and roll-up windows, none of that so-called weatherproofing was worth a damn. The Fiat 124 Spider i had in college, OTOH, was a whole different story. Top you could raise and lower with one hand, fantastic heater and defroster and a car I could drive all winter in Massachusetts with no problem, unless we talk about the rust.
