Thanksgiving Pagoda
« on: November 26, 2015, 17:52:34 »
Greetings from the N. California wine country,

Happy Thanksgiving to All - - -


Historical note:  If the year were 1966 instead of 2015, my Pagoda would be in Dr. Morrison's garage in Austin TX, the F-4 jet fighter in the background would be flying missions over Vietnam, and I would be a know-nothing college freshman. The car is in a lot better shape than either of the other two - - - Ha Ha

Still looks great Larry!

Wishing all Folks south of the border a "Happy Thanksgiving"

We up north in Canada had ours already since we simply cannot wait heheheh

I never took the hardtop off mine this year (I simply find her nicer that way). Hope to take her out for a last spin this coming Saturday before the snow arrives :)

Larry,

Great looking car and love F4s best of all.

The Pagoda looks quite high at the front, or is it just the picture?
