It was quite common to drop a 615 in these in Germany -- lowered the
tax rate and gave decent performance with much better milage.
It is better than a comparable Cadillac or Oldsmobile -- in that era
they got six mpg, as low as 4 if you drove hard. Huge honking things
that rolled like whales.
I wish my was restorable, and I had the $$, they are a blast to drive,
and if you set them a bit lean, aren't so horrible on milage you can
drive them on trips.
