Can some one clue me in on this. Were they ever shipped with one, and if so, for how long?

I just love reading vintage articles like this. Learned a lot from the article - I had no idea about the blower attachment or exhaust muffler. |

attachment with the early Convertibles. The attachment set, as you see, had a SEPARATE converter. Cost reduction, again, made that become a one-piece unit. I have pics of EARLY Convertible "prototypes" as well as early attachments. You'd die if you saw how different they were from the ones that came into being. I'll try to find them.
