A ‘59 Cessna 172 on a ‘68 VW Bug chassis. Only $25,000. On Craig’s list in Fallon, NV. Looks like fun! https://images.craigslist.org/00t0t_fYj ... 00x450.jpg

Otherwise, the only effect was to cause the CO detector to change colors. LOL

Username Protected wrote: Funny thing, though..........a 59 Cessna, probably had a Hell of a Lot more Heat & Defrost, then a 59 Bug Ask Me How I know? I don't think they ever improved. I had a '68 in the early 80's. I remember coming back home on a country hwy in light freezing rain, or maybe light snow, and putting my hand on the windshield until I couldn't see out the other place where I'd removed my hand. Over and over.
