Rick came through with a better close up of the photos. They are behind glass so they are a bit fuzzy. Neat photos from the Summer of 1973. You can see the original polyethylene valance in place, the New York 956-LYS license plates, and the ubiquitous stainless steel mudflaps. And the really happy, really tall couple. :-)

Went to my friend, Al's shop to add some R12 to the a/c system today. The system was a little low. According to Rick, the original owner, the car has never had its a/c serviced, so after 41 years it still had 75% of its original R12 fill.

I had a couple extra cans in the garage and my buddy Al is an expert at reading a sight glass in these old systems. It was 85 degrees today and now while driving, the test thermometer in the center outlet read 40 degrees on max a/c. Nice!

Steve, I guess Al's is the place to go for classic repair, your SD, olds, mustang, C-10 and a Plymouth/Dodge on the rack? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] Just the one modern SUV in front of your to run the pic [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

Yes, he really knows his stuff on the older cars. He's a great guy to know!

My son and I drove the white car out to PA to the Performance Years show in Hatfield. It is about 40 miles but takes over an hour as it is in the middle of no-where. We had a bunch of fun. He has been looking for a 1998 to 2002 Trans Am and spent most of his time touring that area of the show. Nice to see that he is getting in to cars at a young age - gives us hope for the next generation of carguys!

Here's the white car on display in the field:

And on our way home we stopped at the local cruise night in Flemington, NJ. Another eclectic bunch of cars showed up last night. What's the odds of parking next to a white Karman Ghia and a white L79 Chevy II?
