[Hallicrafters] Piesoelectric effect case in point.

[Carl]

So you were born in a 65 SS-409? That would be a mighty rare car today as 
the 396 replaced it in March. I wouldnt mind owning either; drive a 68 
Impala SS 396 ragtop in the summer and had a 64 SS-409 ragtop decades ago, a 
plain vanilla version.
