The way the rear seats fold when the top's down, so that there's a continuous line from the front seats down to the trunk, is being hailed as a modern design innovation by several manufacturers now. Ford were doing it 60 years ago. Billy Gibbons owns a custom version, called Mexican Blackbird, (after one of ZZ Top's hits), & painted to match his guitar. Title: Re: Dear Father Christmas.....
