Hi vk,
That's a GREAT looking car!!
It looks like you've taken very good care of it all these years.
Being the original owner of a car 42 years old must give you quite a good feeling.
Happy Birthday!
Regards,
Alan

How many miles have you put on her? That looks like a new car.
You are very fortunate to have been able to get that car early and keep it all of this time. Congrats.

Well, can't say mother nature has been as good to the owner!lol
Here are a couple of pics of the before and after of the owners. Wifey has held up a lot better than me.

It is a great feeling, Alan. I didn't intend to keep it forever when I bought it, it just worked out that way. It was our only car for a few years. My wife had to take it to the store and the laundrymat. Geesh!

Brent, It has just over 36000 miles on it. It sat in the garage for about 14 years.
