I just wanted to clarify some comments regarding Spridgets and dates.  Early
style quarter elliptic springs and side curtains were still available in
early 1964 in the US, the later model half elliptic sprung models showed up
a few months later that same year.  So if someone says they have a '64, you
have a ask to be sure which model it actually is since there was some
overlap.  The downside of these cars has to be the 1098 motor with the small
bearings.

'64 A-H Sprite (quarter elliptic and side curtains, 1275 now)
