Question: Where is the rear speaker located when the car has Dual AC?

They actually made a little recessed part in the AC unit. You can see the speaker magnet hanging down into it here:

Jay - welcome to the forum! Those two Imps are beautiful! Glad to hear they both have been in the family for so many years. Hope they remain that way for many more years!

Neat! Never knew that! Thanks.

Jay, nice, great be in long term ownership

I just realized that I had not introduced my newest lady, Ruby. Her name is because she has a Deep Ruby Metallic with silver top factory paint job. She should have gone to the crusher, but there are only 17 of this model known to exist, and only 1349 made! So it was so much fun restoring Rose, named after her Gray Rose Metallic paint. Here are some photos of the HT and the sedan.

Rose did not look so good either when I rescued her from 45 years of siting outdoors, here she is "before"
