My highschool car around '89. This pic was taken after I got it running again after 10 years of sitting in my dad's garage. People don't believe me that peach was cool back then. |

My first car back in 1985. T Bars, Rossi headlights, Toronado mirrors...
Looked much better after I threw the bumpers and side trim in the trash. Things were different then.

I remember the Lt. blue Billabong car with the manifold flipped around and the posts cut out of it. _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

Here's a class of '92 picture from back in the day with the cars we had at the moment. Mixedup59 in the top of the blue ragtop. I climbed the tree to take the picture, but that is my baby blue '68 with my buddy nick in the sunroof.

i would take a guess this was done about 1990. the breeze bumpers just came out and were popular and scalops where not very popular after then so i would guess 90 to 92 ish! _________________ We are a Republic, NOT a Democracy |

Here's a picture of my old 1957....Indian turquoise with pink perl (was sprayed on after this picture) and white window rubber
Used to have 55' only tail lights, prelude seats, and an unbelievable stereo system. Was stolen and stripped down completely, they just left the pan and shell.
I put it back together a decade later and now it lives in hawaii
I always wonder if anyone has any pictures of it completed from an SF bay area show...1991 or 1992
