I'll be happy to take a couple more shots in good sun... Might be until June or July, Western Washington just grayed over and usually that lasts for about 8 months.
I looked for the build sheet, but couldn't find it anywhere. I'll keep my eyes open for it,
edited... Wrong color, it is actually Ford 1385 "Garden Turquoise Metallic"
Rest assured, I'll be changing out the wheel covers sooner rather than later. It needs tires, as the old ones on it are seriously dry-rotted. I'll be ordering some matching color lap belts to replace the black ones in it, and give me something so that I can belt the kids in the back and go for a family drive. It's a PITA to start cold, and I think it just needs a little carb adjustment. I'll mess with the choke this weekend.
I've always thought these cars were seriously under-appreciated. The convertibles are beautiful, and somewhat more valuable. Even the hottest models with the M-Code tri-power motor don't command the kind of premium one might expect. They always draw attention though. Just in the couple of hours I had it in front of my house while I was unloading and washing several people stopped to ask about it or take a photo.
