Might fine Mr. Eddie!! Mighty fine. Your thread was informative and inspirational.
Beautiful wagon awesome work. I try to block out of my mind what I have spent on Goldie, I have a big think folder of receipts, but never plan to total up the numbers.

I rarely see numbers posted for these things. We do them because we want to retain something. Like a work of art. I’m preserving this for the next guy. I wasn’t afraid to add this one up. It’s not perfect, but it’s real nice.
Gesswien had one for 20k about the same time. Sure it is ‘all original’ but what I have now is probably as good mechanically and ‘new’ cosmetically for about the same. I have a few hundred hours in but I‘m free. My sisters and I will take a road trip east this summer just like in 77.
And, it’s a great car. But my 78 NYB is nicer!

When the weather gets warmer, or when you can, I’d love to see an “all in one” picture of your fleet Eddie. Throughout your other threads we’ve seen them here and there. But! Just say’en...

This was last June. Never emptied the barn this year. Been a few additions and subtractions. The oldest now is a 50 m-47 Mercedes and the newest is a 17 Tesla X. The quarter miler went to Denmark. The caddy went to a local family. A few more moved on. A few more can in!

Did you need a helicopter to get them all in the picture.. lol
That's kept in a different shed.............
I just want to clarify. The cars in the picture were all in storage and you pulled them all out for a photo shoot? Quite the fleet. Even more impressed with the work you did on the wagon with all the other cars in the collection.

Yeah. Spring cleaning. Couple of those were concours restorations. Most are all cosmetically #2’s or low mileage originals

Your insurance agent must love you...

Not really. Hagerty likes me. They have all the classics. Ins agent is struggling. I got booted off my umbrella because I exceeded the ‘maximum number of cars allowed’. Sentinel was the carrier I believe and the agent has not found a replacement Co. Apparently they won’t underwrite more than 9 cars to a household.
Where did you get the dash pad?
Please bring the T&C and the 78 NYB to Carlisle in July please.

Can I get a ride in the rear facing seat while drinking an ice tea this spring?
