mfg Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Like most all of us, I've been pretty busy this summer.....only have been to a couple of auto shows... including the one I attended yesterday with my wife at Height's Crossing in Brockton (Shoe City!) Massachusetts. Unlike many shows that now charge a fee from the folks who display their cars, the 'Height's' annual show boasts free admission, and provides the collector car owner with: a free t-shirt, free hamburgs, hot dogs, ice cream, New England clam chowder, and also free refreshments.....SUCH A DEAL!!!!! We took my '83 Avanti 'Everyday Driver' to the show.....For the last 20 years this Avanti was painted white....I felt it was definitely time for an update, so I painted it a Chrysler Corp red color called 'Tapestry Red'...... Also, I gave it much needed exhaust and front suspension work,...and also new bucket seats up front. Got to park next to my friend Greg's gorgeous '56 Ford Thunderbird........ My Avanti now has approx 350K on its odometer, and is still going strong! Edited September 24, 2017 by mfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it won't get "lost" in the snow now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
