Radiators for most American Motors (Rambler) cars. They leaked when new.
Burned into my brain is the 1970's-era sight of brand new Harley Davidson's
sitting in a gleaming showroom...with a drip pan under each bike to protect the
floor from the drizzling oil.
Damn that sucks. No way I'd buy one of those new bikes with a drip tray
under it!
Best wishes,
