>From Todd Mullins:

- What's the deal with those zip-out rear windows?  When it comes time
  for my top replacement (probably next year), do I want one?

YES!  I use mine alot - especially when a) I don't have time to put the top
down (and who does?), or b) it is too hot to put it down.

- What's this sticker on the left-hand side of my steering column which
  reads "Caution:  Manual Store Release Lever", with an arrow pointing
  down the column towards the bulkhead?

Idunno!  What year B is this?

- What's a MOWOG?

It's like a MOPAR or a FOMOCO except it leaks... and it should be installed
by Mr Goodspanner.  (It's B(PS)L's parts brand: derived from something like
MO-rris WO-lsely m-G.)

- Why did B(PS)L reverse the taillamp wiring on '70-'80 US-spec models?

Idunno that either.  How do you mean "reverse" - I'm not very familiar with
pre '70s taillamp wiring.
' Haven't had the rusty '71 out for awhile but seems I remember the side
marker lights only go on with the headlights - *not* with the parking
lights.  A friend has a '73 B with a *2-speed*, original- looking, heater
fan switch.  My '76 B has a gold logo on the horn push instead of the usual
red - and it's a year too late for the fiftieth-anniversary '75 models.
