RIP.
When I read the news blurb, in mentioned Fantasy Island, but nary a mention of KHAN. Best role!

I am a Ricardo Montalbon fan.
My son still hollers, "The plane!The plane!" at short people.

I didn't realize the skins of rich Corithians had any special qualities.

And even then they sorta remind me of the bordellos I've seen in the movies.

I had a '76 Cordoba with a "lean-burn-engine" (burned leaded gas with low emissions). It was a great car for the highway with a very comfortable ride. Had a 400 ci or 6.55 litre engine (which meant it would pass everything but a gas station). I think I got 11 mpg.

If I remember right, back in the late '70s, gas was around 70 cents per gallon.
It didn't have Corinthian leather though, but soft velor.

the outfit he wore for 'Rath of Khan' was designed to take advantage of the fact that he still looked great with no shirt on (at 60-ish).
