in -20F ambient when running 
65mph on the interstate...doing my usual trip driving late at night. 
With the heater running full blast, it got cold enough in the car that 
the aftermarket radio LCD display quit working. Everything was routed to 
the defroster to keep the window clear of ice. We had to stop for the 
night. My wife is pretty tolerant but has never let me forget that one. 
This was in the mid 1980s when the 61 Lakewood

Mark...  my bad....  LM  CARS  have great heat systems..


 Earlies  run thru the rockers!!  LM's  down the center of the body...  Huge difference!


 VW  Beetles were the same way... longer you drove at speed.. the colder your feet got!


note:   That was the first winter I had the car...and was moving north that day....
The next year I had made a few Mods....and was able to get 140F  air  out the rear seat vent on a below Zero day....


 I was able to see some of the tricks in '79 while in FairBanks Ak.    guy said he drove his all year...
