One of my best memory is picking up a 24 pack yuengling lagers in the TA at Nats. Polishing those off with some big laughs my first year.

Look forward to more!

Brew, I'm not so sure you should go before Bob and Dave. I saw how you drove (and drive) your Formy (he,he)!

Craig, did you need any shims on the Delco starter? I have found that mini starters usually require more than the OEM starters.

Craig, It sounds like you should be building a play motor too, and hanging the numbers one on an engine stand.

Its okay Craig, I wouldnt want to hurt that car 400 miles away from home. Thats why I'd drive it around your place IF I ever drive your car it would be like driving a number one show car out of respect for its history. Cheers my friend, B

Craig - I agree that after 40 years your car deserves a thread. Thanks for sharing.

How did you come to buy Lucy so long ago, and what do you know about the prior owner(s)?

Thumbs up 1970 Lucy

You have a beautiful car Craig. It could not belong to a better owner. Love the picture with the old American daisy's. I have a late model set of the 200s's I like to throw on every once in a while too.

More old pictures!

Congrats! I'm right behind you. In December I will have owned my '71 for 40 years. Never thought I'd have it this long, but after a while they become a member of the family.
