Ted,

I know what you mean. I grew up in England and for some time drove a 2CV!

It is fascinating to compare attitudes in Anglosaxon and non Anglosaxon cultures. In my parts A V22, a Purdey and an Ideal would be ranked about level by buyers and sellers. Any such suggestion in an Anglosaxon environment would elicit some rude responses.

As for the ribs, I have seen about equal proportions with and without bottom rib. Being a rib hater I guess the ribless ones leave a more lasting impression.
