The Days of MCI 5A's and 5B's

<Shake, Rattle, and Roll>

Not ONLY the wind and rain, but squirrely as $*!+ in snow and ice, like driving a matchbox on ice skates!!!! I recollect they were all cold and drafty too. Getting into the dustbin of my mind they had vents above the front windows that would vent fresh air into the perforations above the driver compartment and stairwell which did not help except flow air heated from pavement into the passenger compartment.

Oh well ... those were in the days of the the 5 cent cruise control!

Keep it safe.

  1. The photo at top the MC5C SKYVIEW does not belong in a discussion of MC5 A'S AND B'S........The MCI5C was a wholly different animal than the aforementioned with the MCI8 front....the C was greatly improved over it's predecessors and enjoyed only a two year run...........Every one generally agree's that the C was far superior in build and quality to it's MC5 (A) and (B) predecessors, and incidentally I own the Coach pictured at top.........
