  • 4th day, Springfield

    This was my last day in Iceland. The cold only served to prove that there was NOTHING wrong with my internal plumbing. It worked. And it worked very well. Twenty seven pit stops a day says so! (Well it SEEMED like 27!)








    Or how about this one with big gold flecks in the paint?






    You'd never guess it, but this man has a THING for green paint. BRIGHT GREEN PAINT! Neat car tho!




    And if you don't like trucks, skip this pic:



    Notice anything unusual about this Sky Hawk?










    Nitey Nite! (I think I see one of my relatives already asleep there!)



    And last--I met Ingmar Vic today. A friendlier man, you're never gonna meet. Three of us must have spent a half hour telling Swedish jokes. And he told the best ones. (Ja! Sure! Yew betcha!)

      [B]Well, I believe I would anyway. I like meeting nice people.

              How do you tell the difference between 1953 doors and 1956 doors? The Duesenberg swoop did not go away until the 1957 models.

                  We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

                    That's nice. I had Bob Bourke to discuss the Deusenberg swoop in the doors with.
