I bought my '67 BJ8 new in Miami and it was my every day car for 7 years. The
heat from the engine was great in the winter time, all two weeks ot it. The
rest of the year was like a furnace. After about two years I got a Parrish
(now Smoothline) hard top and installed a "Coolaire of Miami" air conditioning
unit. I was tired of arriving at my destinations soaking wet. And it wasn't too
"cool" going on a date and getting your date all hot and sweaty too with out
even touching her. I've got the skin cancer too now in my 70's and get the
liquid nitrogen freezing, cutting them off and chemical peels with Efudex on
the stubborn areas. No fun. The air conditioning was a factory authorized
installation. See this Ebay link and click on the second thumb nail pic bellow
the large pic to see the Healey dash installation:

Listen to Ira.? The sun has been damaging my skin all the way back several
decades to my days of being a Lifeguard.? My dermatologist's eyes rolled back
when I said I drive a top-down sports car.? One look at my arms?brought an
immediate diagnosis of sun damage.? I now wear a Safari?style hat with skirt
to?cover my ears and neck, long sleeve shirt, and gloves.? I apply SPF 50
sunscreen on face,?the?exposed skin?below?my chin,?hands and ears.? This in no
way deprives me of the pleasure of driving my Healey.? Hopefully, it will allow
me to do it longer.
?
Every six months I get a check up that usually involves freezing pre-cancers or
cutting out the questionable ones for biopsy.? Wait until you need the Blue
Light or the 5-FU treatment.? Not fun procedures.? If any biopsy comes back as
Melanoma, your odds of living a long and fruitful life are in jeopardy.?
?
If you feel you have to drive with all that skin exposed and have not seen a
dermatologist lately, I?recommend you make your appointment NOW!
