    This car has full gauges, including voltmeter and oil pressure. With the radio set up high in the dash.

    I've owned two 68 Rambler Americans. They were the best two cars I've ever owned. One was Motorweek's "Car of the Week" in episode 1510.

    Fantastic story! I remember seeing this when it originally aired on Motorweek when I was a kid.

    While this story is fascinating, I believe one thing that helped them was the fact they were from America, where a multiple day road trip is so common because the US is so large 😅

    No surprise about Turkey, the name should tell you everything that you need to know about it.
