Nope, it was not an AC car (but it will be!). In fact, the only option was power steering and power brakes (dealer installed I’m guessing); not even a radio.
I doubt it was always parked passenger side to the ocean. I do know that the PO(s) did go to the beach as there was a ton of sand under the back seat and carpeting. Strange, there was none behind the back seat. Still doesn’t explain the A pillar rust out only on one side and which was always covered by the pillar post cover. It’s a mystery that only the wagon can answer!
