When the heaters are working right, with the cold air bleed OK and the
thermostat on the bulkhead mixer working, they keep pretty reasonable temps -
not sure what temp - must get a thermometer inthere some day.  The early ones
without the cold air bleed and thermostat control get hot enough to make rubber
mats smell - had a school-kid in the back cover the outlet with the floor mat
rather than ask me to turn the rear heat down in my '64!

Foam prevents ventilation of the surface which means accelerated rust if there's
moisture getting in.
