Some. It has some wear and tear on the lettering, but I have seen worse.

Re gas heater; I seem to recall that it was Stewart Warner that made the south wind heater and that it was not very different from the Eberstuder gas heaters found as options in early VW 'bugs'.
Some early aircraft also used them.

Speaking of 'dumping overboard' in my teens there was a very popular municipal beach in the town next door.
The sandy beach always had a fine layer of silt near the shoreline, it sort of oozed between your toes.
The claim was that the sand had a clay content.
WRONG
The municipal sewage was simply free flowing into the river and that was a mere 1000 ft or so upstream.
The fine 'clay' was simply poop.

My first Jeep was a WW2 military jeep. It had some brand of gasoline fired heater. As I remember, it was either on or off. It would get that louvre, running under the windshield, REALLY hot. Run the heater and your gas mileage was just about cut in half.

I had a 74 VW Thing with a gasoline heater.

I'm not looking for a pizz fight over sematics; my point was that they came from the factory WITHOUT a heater. I bow to you and the GM archives, from which the statistics flow. I know that my 41 Chevy and my two 50 chevys all had hot water heaters, which I assumed were factory options. In this area, a heater was almost a necessity...ergo a dealer "accessory" would funnel a few extra bucks to the dealership. Makes sense; considering the "accessory" was more than likely made by, or for, GM.

Reminds me of my brief...but exciting...barefoot days on the farm.
