Making Memories with Pagoda
« on: October 22, 2015, 14:44:44 »
What could be better than using my Pagoda in the Homecoming Parade and then let my son take his date to the Homecoming dance in one cool car!!!
It was great when Son and Pagoda were safely home that night. :)

Great deal, and indeed great memories!

Can't help but ask about the plate though, 000005!?

I started with 0000001 on my daily driver and have added tags 0000002-0000005 for my collector cars. I just thought they looked cool on the cars they really don't have any meaning.
Took some effort to get them all.
Glad you liked my post.

I see you were smart enough to put something on top of the hatch cover before you let those young ladies sit on it.

I have seen the question of "Parade duty" brought up a couple of times before with the consensus being the aluminum tonneau cover would get dented if you sat on it.  I take it that is not the case?  Just want to know in case my car gets pressed into service.

No problem with the weight of the girls on the back of the car. All good. With the shape of the hatch it makes it pretty stout.
