Thanks to both of you.
I will make a separate post when I get some pictures downloaded but I will tell you all about my veterans day yesterday. I had the honor of carrying a 92 year old WWII Marine Corps Veteran in the Dallas Veterans Day parade in the backseat of my 54 Olds. He received the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. He actually wore the same uniform he wore in 1946 when he received the Bronze Star. His name is RV Burgin and he wrote a book about 4 years ago titled (Islands of The Damned. I will never have another experience like that with my car unless I carry a Medal of Honor recipient. No car show will ever match this experience.
