Good Morning Gary, Actually mine came w/ a Nissan factory optioned polar
bear fur lined set of seats w/ white weasel covered head rests. The tires
were also lined w/ porcupine quills for better traction in winter
conditions. Larry in Calgary.

content here!)
Late getting to this subject, I know, but my company's "stoopid" proxy
servers have been
hosed on and off for a couple of days and I couldn't follow the link.
Anyway - did anyone else notice some of the inconsistencies in this article?
For example:
" "Only 200 with the Solex option were imported a year and only to Canada
and Australia,"
reports Mr. Boettcher."
Maybe I'm all wet, but weren't the Solex cars imported into/available in the
good ol' US
of A, also?
and...
"I'm keeping the interior original," he says with a smile, "I prefer leather
to vinyl,
even if it's worn."
What, were you Canucks getting an interior option that wasn't available
south of the
border (or the equator), or was the original owner of my '70 2000 a
cheapskate who didn't
shell out for the leather interior option?
