Re: IML: 1956 A/C: Dealer vs. Factory Installation

[tom higgins <thomash85715@xxxxxxxxx>]

How much credibility can this dealer have when he goes so far out of his way to make what is obviously a false and indefensible claim about this aspect of the car?  The people that crow the loudest about how honest and forthright they are usually are anything but.  He is after all a texan, so we should not be too surprised.  --Tom Higgins
