As one of those who feels more confident about the Drivers L. part of this, I have to applaud Vern. And issue a call to action. We really must work to get an addendum to the Final Rule that would include the Ercoupe and varients. Yeah, you gotta draw the line somewhere. And 1200 pounds (545 KG) has been a traditional break point. I believe that the rule was originally 1200 #! I feel we must patition for inclusion of specific named makes and models in the Final Rule, and get the `coupe in = BY NAME, to include all varients.
