This was today's service call. Just about got it, some adjustments

To do and we've got it. Owner has had several and says, despite their complexity, he's found them generally reliable.

Love it.

I know where there is one of these.

An absolute twin.

You don't realize how long those cars are until you are beside one.

I could watch that all day!

I suspect it's the type of mechanism that you need to exercise it at least a few times a year.

There's a white one on kijiji today at what appears to be an attractive price.

That's the kind of show that attracts hundreds at any car show! Can watch it go up and down over and over and over...

They are so cool. Thanks so much for sharing. Spent a day beside one a few years ago at a car show and they are an attention getter. There are at least a couple of them here in the valley.

My favourite auto wrecking has one of those in it, a yellow one. It's hit really hard and of course it's hit in the back. Can you imagine fixing one of those crashed?

 Yep. I forget how many synchronized relays are involved in making that top go up and down! Many!
