San Diego 356

#1 Post by Jim Beam »

My son lives in San Diego. Driving in the rain today he came upon a very nice black plate car. Picture attached. He talked with the driver a bit and told him about our 356B which has been in the family for many years. Picture also attached. Small world.

I'll bet the guy in the white T6 swore at the wiper blades as I do every time I end up in the rain. Turn the speed to high, and then off; rinse and repeat.
Nice looking car; 356s are kinda egg-shaped, so they look good in white.

I asked some of the guys in that area and they don't know the car.

I thought the wipers were fine until the current-day replacement blades came along. Now only part of the blade touches the glass.
