That is quite correct Ray. I bought an XW model Ford Falcon in about 1970
before I moved here. It did not have a heater in it. I bought a heater
unit from one of the accessory stores which worked OK for a time (RamAir I
think the that type was called - no fan, only the air pushing through the
radiator and through the heater coils). It was not long before the darned
thing sprang a leak and I had water running into the car. Now of course
they are standard equipment.
The radio was standard in that model if I remember correctly..
Cheers,
Bob VK6BE.
>In Australia, they didn't even fit heaters and radios as
standard equipment in base model cars until they were "forced" to by
imported Japanese cars having them in all models. This was back in the
1960s.
