After 38 years of driving pickups, I searched for a car like I had in high school. No original thought here. :) I found this 68 Coronet 440 last summer down in CA and after 2 months of phone calls sealed a deal. I trailered it, 14 hours, from Dublin, CA, that awesome 68 profile filling the rear view mirror. Smiling like a teenager looking at **** the whole way home.

Here she is!
