Here are a few shots I took today as my Pagoda reaches its first anniversary since completion of the restoration and its arrival here in Atlanta.

I finally added the snowflake decal, purchased from Bob Geco, on the windscreen, seen in this last photo.
Enjoy....

Ed, the car looks great!  Hard to believe it's already been a year since you took delivery in Atlanta.

Although I only installed the snowflake decal a month or two ago probably 3 or 4 people have commented on it. Having correct engineering tags (stickers, decals, etc.) is a nice way to complete a restoration but most are rarely seen or noticed except by people who really recognize or understand them. The snowflake, because of its obvious position on the windscreen is noticable and its funny how people pick up and comment on it.
Bob Geco, a regular contributor to this forum did a very nice job pulling together many (if not all) of the various engineering tags that appeared on our cars as they came from the factory. He doesn't give them away but like I said, has developed excellent, high quality reproductions and they certainly go a long way to finish off your restoration project.

Ed the first photo of your black and white SL in front of the Peachtree entrance is striking.  Love the comparision of the hardtop glass with the storefront beyond.  A true eye appreciates this choice of architecture with the car.  Both have the style of Bauhaus.  One of my favorite styles.
Thanks for the posting.

Ed, it was great watching the progress during restoration and seeing that she's doing well a year later.   Great pics.   I hope the Porsche is doing well too!
