BitterSweet is home.

That looks like a great cruiser Stan, Bittersweet might be a sign, I believe in early posts you stated your wife was not 100%, maybe some drive in dates with your honey is exactly what this car is meant for. Congrats and drive it till the wheels fall off!!!!!

Congratulations Stan that car is a keeper. Glad to hear that you named it and the name is perfect.

What a beautiful machine and heartbreaking story. As sad as that is that car needs to be enjoyed. What does the wifey think of the slabby?

She's thrilled for me. What a woman!!!

Congrats Stan ... I'm a little jealous and love the color. Let's see the interior or just direct me to the discussion thread please

The interior is, ummm, let's just call it "very broke in".
Its a white bucket (with buddy seat) vinyl interior. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

Beautiful car Stan. Personally I would be relieved knowing that the car and her history will be appreciated.

What is the history on this car Stan? Where is originally from? How many owners? Yadda, yadda, yadda......

History is very sketchy right now.
This is all I know: the gentlemen who I bought it from purchased it last September. He bought it out of Miami. The car was sold new in Miami and spent its whole life there.
I don't know how many owners it passed through. I will start a search and see what I can dig up.
I'll start with the Certicard and work my way up from there.

Very nice looking car!

 

[polara71]

And you are a 67 lover and you have never seen this car around?

Fitting name.. Nice car. Fast top with no vinyl.... Just right.

Looks really good Stan. I only wonder what's going through the mind of the NYB. She remembers what happened to the 2 door after you brought her home.

I imagine there's going to be a fight between them on who gets the top bunk.

EVERYBODY: Thank you so much for the kind words. You're all awesome
The feeling of being back in "my" Newport after 40 years is overwhelming and to share it with so many appreciative people puts this down as one of the highlights of my life.
I'm the luckiest (sorry, Ross . ) guy in the world.

The "stance" is perfect, as Dave already said. It ain't broken...
Replace the one RWL tire with a black wall, clean up the black steelies, and figure out where to get 4 dog dishes for the 14" wheels. Even baby moons, maybe. Who knows...
Any suggestions on what commonly availabe poverty caps will fit? I don't care if they aren't "correct".

Stan, congrats, I'm so happy for you. It's sad that the guys wife died but you can't help that. I'm sure the guy is thrilled to have her going to such a good home.
