Without Matt's testimony, the three remaining charges against Al Osborne would probably...
...experimental car's headlights are concealed behind the air-scoop grill which revolves at the flick of a switch. Other features: thermostatically controlled electric seat warmers, fenders that swing up on hinges to make tire-changing easier.
