Zagato (an Italian coachbuilder) made changes mostly to the Mustang’s exterior. That includes changing the color from white to green, adding square Carello headlights and installing a fake air intake on the hood. Inside, they replaced the upholstery with imitation leather trim.

Dem governor withdraws electric vehicle mandate in stunning blow to environmentalists

Quote:

Democratic Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is withdrawing his plan to mandate future electric vehicle (EV) purchases after the proposal received bipartisan pushback from lawmakers on a key legislative panel.

Lamont ultimately pulled the proposal just four months after unveiling it and characterizing it as "decisive action to meet our climate pollution reduction targets." In July, Lamont unveiled the proposal, tethering Connecticut's emissions standards to those set in California, which mandates that every passenger vehicle sold is electric by 2035, the most aggressive target of its kind nationwide.

"Common sense has prevailed," Connecticut Senate Republican Leader Kevin Kelly said in a statement. "The Governor’s decision to withdraw the regulations is a reasoned approach to address the growing concerns raised by working and middle-class families. Adopting California emission standards which ban the sale of gas-powered cars is a substantial policy shift which must be decided by the General Assembly."

"There are too many questions regarding the capacity of our electric grid, the cost and location of grid improvements, and the negative impact on urban, rural and working poor families," Kelly added. "More than 90% of our pollution comes from outside the control of Connecticut. We need a national – and international – approach to improve our air quality. A state-by-state strategy will only prolong the attainment of cleaner air."

Chrysler didn't sell many Mod Tops, and had so much material they'd bought, that they dyed the remaining Mod Top vinyl Burgandy, and put it on the Imperial LeBarons. Within months the dye faded exposing the mod top design and was embarrassingly recalled.

Looks like my driveway after a rain storm.

2023 SEMA product of the year, Cyclerama Pistons

The dimples spread out the flame front by creating more surface area for a more controlled flame front as it travels across the piston. More complete burn equates to less carbon and more efficiency of the combustion process.
