Re: IOWA'S 170
made this unit out of a 'milkhouse' heater
just direct end of 4" tube into engine compartment
and wrap engine and prop with blankets
warms it up in about 4 hours.

Re: Polish
No harm, not offended at all!
Thelma is the gal in the middle.
She and her husband bought the plane on 7/28/51.
The next buyer was in 1964,
so the picture was sometime in between.

I find it incredible that one would prefer
this type of airplane over a good C170!
especially when the starting price is $167,000!!
