'69 was the first year for the rear window defogger, at least in the US.

I was young and poor. It allowed me to get extra lifetime out of batteries that 
were only half dead.

We used your '69 to test A & B brains. We tested for the 2 clicks, and then 
we used them to start and run the engine. We did not try to drive the car with 
each brain.

You may also have helped me test E brains using my '73 as a test "mule."

I had to test C & D brains another time when my '71 was out.
