Default My turn,

My 1966 Cameo Ivory patina.

The first time a saw this car was in 1980 sitting on a used car lot in San Jose, Ca. and the factory paint was still beautiful.
It wasn’t a good time for me financially so I passed.

Next time I found it on July 24, 1991 it was sitting outside uncovered for several years which took its toll on the paint.
This time the purchase was made.

When I used to take it to classic car events occasionally someone would walk up and say you should paint this car.
I was polite but short with them as they obviously don’t understand a Survivor car.
As years go by I appreciate the patina this car offers every time I uncover it.
Someday when I’m gone the next owner can have it sprayed if they wish.
