I always imagine AMC as the last passenger car maker with a vacuum  
wiper option.

My 70 hornet SST came with them. It apparently had: 232, auto trans,  
radio, unknown seats, regular size tires. (I thought "SST" meant a  
bigger option package.) The 70 Hornet I had in the early 80's was  
similarly equipped -- auto trans, vacuum wipers, bench seat, AM  
radio, 232. (That 232 is now living in my 63 Classic!)
