Re: Pavillions: 10 March 2007
As Todd Rungren used to say.... Here we go!
With this being the 30th anniversary of the critically acclaimed "Smokey and the Bandit", I thot this was appropriate. I saw on Hemmings eWeekly a few weeks back that they are making "the run" from, I think, Texarkanna to Georgia with a bunch of T/A's. Can you imagine that sight? This beauty is a rather rare powertrain combo with only 12K miles. She looks fine in person...

Re: Pavillions: 10 March 2007
This was my favorite of the show. Hadn't seen this one before. Very interesting and sweet ride. The lines on this car were too cool. This beauty is for sale. Believe this is a '59.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes.............I remember it well however, the car pictured above wasn't the one used in the movie. The one pictured above was a 1976 model. The one in the movie was a 1977 model like the one I had. I drove my car to the movie at least a half dozen times and watched the silly thing and then would come out of the movie and have to clear people away from my car so I could leave the movie and do a little showing off.   The picture below is the only one I have of it. It was taken the day of my wedding to my now ex-wife. I should have known the marriage was doomed when she wouldn't change in the car and throw her wedding dress out through the open T-Tops like Sally Fields did in the movie.

Re: Pavillions: 10 March 2007
JD - what a classic photo. It almost looks like an advertisement.
"... It was taken the day of my wedding to my now ex-wife. I should have known the marriage was doomed when she wouldn't change in the car and throw her wedding dress out through the open T-Tops like Sally Fields did in the movie. "  Nice to know your sense of humor is still in tact!
