Nice car! My first car was a well used '68 that I nursed back to health back in the eighties. Welcome!

Welcome. That is one of my favorite colors. I was in Eureka Springs in October. My wife and I stayed at the Arsenic & Old Lace B&B. Nice place and very nice folks. That is a neat part of the country.
