I have to tell this story once more.

When I was a toddler, my father had a 64 1500N Square (originally a 
panel with full wagon interior). One day my father and his father-in-law 
was going for a drive in the square. My grand-father was puffing on a 
cigar, and had the window cranked down a bit. So my father jumps into 
the drivers seat and slams the door. He slams the door really hard, 
because he was used to the tight door gaskets. He didnt think of the 
open window on the other side, so when he slams it, the air pressure 
flowing out of the other window takes grand-pa's cigar with it! How's 
that for gaskets?

Btw, this was early 70's (he owned the square from 69 to 77.
