I'm curious what the purpose was for the cordage on the leaf springs...:unsure:
Noise deadening perhaps?
That’s my question too, although your speculation is probably as close to the answer as anything. Those Bentley owners have sensitive ears. They didn’t like paint chips either as the exterior metal body parts were all covered in thin layers of leather too. It really was the coolest car in an incredible collection of extraordinary cars. The Cussler Museum is open to the public but only a couple of days a week.

Who has the 80 series with a purple bumper and smiley face on the hood? I’ve seen it in the Toyota trails magazine and then again yesterday near Moab. That thing is sweet and I love the paint job

anybody remember Fred Williams from Peterson publishing (yes I am old enough to have gotten my automotive content from magazines first) and Motortrend shows like dirt everyday with Dave Chapelle No-not-that-Chapelle?

anyways when motortrend shut down all my favorite car shows like Fred and Dave’s, Freiburger, Finnegan, Derrick et al most of them went to youtube - well Derick started on youtube, but I digress…

anyways…
Fred’s channel is kinda big, he’s kinda famous…

take a gander at this weeks episode and marvel at the LexusCruiser content AND plenty of Slee off-road sightings including a long interview with Ben Swain and some nice Colorado scenery

funny to hear about an lx570 being referred to as old…

kinda cool to see - good episode
