[Cool Kat with Hot Car]

Our convertible is in the third row, 12th in from the left. Dad bought it in the mid 60's, it is still going strong.

I just took the time last night to view the 40 is 50 video.
It turns out that all of the footage was shot in Anaheim, CA.
There were a number of Convertibles in the video, but none that were bright magenta with ghost flames. Yours may have been there, but they did not include all of the cars in the video. I believe that the panoramic photo was taken in the parking lot of a ski lodge, somewhere in the Sierra mountains, possibly just prior to the start of the cruise. I was only able to make it to the gathering in Anaheim. My red coupe is in the video; I was parked two cars down from a black coupe with a bright yellow front half (A car that the camera man spent a lot of time taking close ups of!). I have included a still shot of a maroon Convertible that was at La Palma Park; it has the correct stance, and the bumper wingtips, but the top looks to be light colored, and the top may be chopped (Note the poor quality image of the VHS video.). I still have to try to locate the bulk of the photos I took that weekend; they are somewhere at my parent's home.

Best regards,

David
