For sure. Proud to keep the dream alive and well in the family.
Found this pic while downsizing for my move. Taken back when the Bird came into the family in ‘77.
The Elaine script on the door is
Due to an overseas move the Yellow Bird had to find new home! Sad to see her go, we’ve had an epic 17yrs together, but know she’ll be in great hands. Headed to Puyallup, Washington to live with my cousin. Grandpa would be proud she’s being kept in the family… was his favorite car.
