As bad as the Cabriolet picture looks, that car looks like it survived. The top cover and paint is not damaged. It needs a good washing!! Ed

Mine overheated once, coming back from Yosemite, over the Grapevine at 5,000’, on a hot day. After getting home, Tom Endy advised pulling the radiator and having it properly rodded. The man that did it said about 25 tubes were totally clogged, and he was able to clear all but 2 or 3. I also use water and anti-rust.....no more overheating and no problems.
