Default I've made it!!! The A of the day!!

Nice picture. Look like a fun outing.

Nice car. I especially like cars that still have the original trunk.

Thanks Neal
A trunk was what I wanted. Rumble seats look like a pain 99% of the time.

Way to go to Tiny. Good thing it didn't have white walls. They would blend in to the snow. Great picture.

Usually one day a year, but it never sticks. It snowed all Friday night and Saturday morning and it stuck!!! Still frozen snow everywhere Monday morning!!

Thanks Mike. The boys and I even did some offroading and snow doughnut spinning in the field in the picture. If I knew how to post a video you would hear the kids giggling and saying WOW a bunch!!

Looks like you had fun! Nice looking car!! Is the body Lombard Blue or is it black? It seems such a dark color its hard to tell sometimes. My 31 coupe is painted a much lighter shade closer to Washington blue but I'd like to correct that sometime and I really like the dark blue.

Thanks everybody
Yes Aaron it's Lombard Blue or that's what I'm calling it. I don't know if it's the correct blue but it is really dark. In photos it hard to tell. In person it's a bit bluer. The black wheels help add to the illusion also.
