Some people are like slinkies... Not much good for anything, but they sure are fun to push down the stairs.

Wow, what a beautiful boat. Love the colors, too. Would that have been offered originally in those colors, or is that your personal choice?

Real nice there Bill. I was hoping you'd go with a scheme like that for her. I might have gone a different way on the fenders and went with the Gator ones, but that's just me.

Very nice and very rare.

p.s. It is in the brochures, back page of the Station wagon image. I think they called colonial cream. Del's was that color originally when found I believe.
