Tonight was one of Poochies (a hot dog stand in Skokie) car show nights.\u00c2\u00a0 We all went, had dinner at Poochies, and then sat in chairs by our car and watched the people go by.<\/p>\n
There is a lot of interest in these old sedans, and about half the people who came by were encouraging me to not paint the car.\u00c2\u00a0 Hmm.\u00c2\u00a0 As you know from the pictures, the car is severely sunburned<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 So I figured it was a given that I should paint it sometime.\u00c2\u00a0 But there seems to be a lot of interest in this car as a “survivor” – basically a last remaining, unrestored factory orginal.\u00c2\u00a0 It certainly is rare – trying to find another one (as a donor for spare parts) has been futile since only 2-3 have listed on eBay in the last year.<\/p>\n I’m still thinking it over.<\/p>\n The other half want me to paint it cherry red or baby blue.\u00c2\u00a0 Hrm.\u00c2\u00a0 But everyone agrees, the push-button transmission is cool.<\/p>\n So, a fun time was had by all tonight.\u00c2\u00a0 No pics (they wouldn’t look any different than the last ones I posted<\/a>, since I haven’t done anything yet except put the Illinois plates on it.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tonight was one of Poochies (a hot dog stand in Skokie) car show nights.\u00c2\u00a0 We all went, had dinner at Poochies, and then sat in chairs by our car and watched the people go by.
