1) Julian's text can be interpreted to mean that no car was ever sold which had positive lift.
2) In that context, the three vehicles listed are examples of vehicles, manufactured and sold, which had front and rear lift.
3) The two Volkswagens were tested and reported by ROAD & TRACK.
4) The Porsche 911 and Carrera data were provided by Hucho.
5) I don't have any road test data for other years of Volkswagen so I can't address the '62 model year.
