Shorpy RULES!!

Here in Arizona when we want to heat up our engine block, we just open the hood for a bit...

Yes, I get that you don't need a block heater in Arizona. Or Louisiana, or Florida. And several other places in the south.

But are block heaters so rare that it would be reasonable to assume that most people would not even know what a block heater is? You do routinely have extended periods of temperatures below freezing in the wintertime for at last half the US or so, don't you?

Stein , Below freezing yes , but usually folks don't start thinking about block heaters till the temp gets to WaaaaaaaaaY below zero . I lived in SLC Utah for many years --it gets to 0 there now and then, low single didgets often, and I know of no one that had a block heater there .

Yellowlyn--- I don't remember the "Mirror Tie" accessory but I do remember the dealer I worked for in the 60's registering "scarce" cars -- Like the first MK II Lincolns to "straw buyers" -- friends of the dealer -- then "buying " them back , making them a USED CAR without ever leaving the lot! As a "Used Car" there was no MRSP cap on the price
