Default What a sickness this is!

Well I did it again.................... I was at the Pates swap meet at the Texas Motor Speedway lookin for a few things for my 28 Sport Coupe. I went to a dealer that I look to do business with an there it was........ a 31 slant windshield sedan that had spent many years in storage. It has the original interior, 25 k miles and a presentable paint job and solid as a rock. I quickly txt my wife and asked for her blessing which she gave(gotta love her). So now "Joe" is safely in the garage next to the Sport Coupe "Gracie" hmmmmmmm is 2 enough?

The dark blue and black one or the reddish one? The both I saw were super nice cars. Congrats!

Oh and I have a new one in the collection now as well as of this evening. Yup. It's a sickness.

It was the dark blue and black one with the straw colored wheels. the cars are named Joe and Gracie after my inlaws who both have passed on in the last 2 years. im very excited about the addition.

That was an excellent car. I spotted it and quickly ran over and checked it out. It looked like an amazingly original nice car. Great job!

I have two A's as well as a veteran and a classic car. I have discovered that when it comes to getting the wifes consent it is much easier to ask for forgiveness than permission . LOL
