Can you imagine the expression on the poor guy's face out in the paint shop when Mr. O'Meara came out to him and proposed the paint scheme???

A collection like that would be cool. I would really like to have one of each body style change. That is my goal.

Walford -

My best friend was born in Scotland and we have fun poking at each other's heritage. I copied the photo and sent it to him just now telling him I settled on a Paint Scheme for my '49.
