Hi Deena and Joe
For whatever reason, the link to PictureTrail didn't work. As I grew up in
LaGrange and live near Milwaukee, I am very interested to see your car.
I have pictures of my 1967.5 (which I an thinking of selling) at
www.picturetrail.com/iv675spl . This car has seen the streets of Westmont,
Downers Grove etc.
Best regards,
Ivan Velazquez
