This vehicle is equipped with the original air ride suspension option. When the car is started, the air compressor needs several minutes to pressurize the suspension system, and lift the body to driving height. A chrome lever under the dash can be pulled to activate the "Air Lift" function which raises the back of the car several more inches. This is a rare find.
