Doesn't it? Here are a couple shots from late summer where I was the radio car (tail car) for the local fire house charity ride. 50 miles in the countryside on a beautiful fall day! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif

Did this car come out of the Detroit area? Looks a lot like a local car, only curious. GLWS
