Meanwhile this is what comes to mind as far as what has happened in the last eight years...

Modified the trailer hitch to not hang as low below rear bumper

Added a windshield wiper delay control

Added electric rear window control to keyless entry allowing opening and closing via key fob

Replace mechanical radiator fan with electric

Replace original cargo anchors behind rear seat with anchors for kid's car seats,

Car was damaged in late June 2022 by a garage fire. this resulted needing some minor body repairs and a complete repainting of the exterior which was completed in early 2023.

As part of the the post fire repairs the hood ornament and the exterior rear window switch were removed  and the body infilled in those locations. Also the left rear quarter panel trim "spear" was replaced with a solid piece. It had been previously pieced together in order to bridge over the original gas cap location. 

Short video of garage fire damage.  Paint and body were damaged from falling glass when garage door was opened and the door knob of a side door that was forced open by the Fire Department.  Trim and exterior chrome was strangely "tarnished"  which all had to be hand polished with fairly decent success.
