Very nice color combo and unbelievable condition. Sharks like that are hard to come by these days. Nice score!

I am wondering if the "park" with the railroad tracks you mention is a "park" park, or a trailer park, which is where we lived while we were there. Those were good times for a kid of that age. We'd climb the cinderblock wall and hang on some big rocks where a little stream wandered through, hoping not to run into a rattler or black widow.
Further back in the hills there, my father once showed me a fossil he found embedded into the side of a hill. I swear to god, it looked just like a small monkey's face!!
I can also remember walking down Tierra Rejada every day to school, past a long section of stores and such, turning cartwheels and just generally being silly (I was 8 the year we lived there) the whole way. A mile and a quarter each way to school, wearing ski coat and heavy pants in the morning, and carrying that stuff home in the 90 degree temps later on. Yikes!!
Wow....what a trip down memory lane.
Thanks for joining our bunch and bringing back such great memories at the same time!Soooo....what will you name your car?
. Welcome!

Thanks for all the welcomes. Leslie, I don't name my cars my wife does. She's been busy lately but when she takes a break, you'll be the second to know.

Too funny.....sounds the same as around here. Hubby doesn't think naming cars is "cool", but I keep doing it, anyway!
That's how we ended up with Christine, Pandora's Box, Franken-Shark (ok, Gretch takes credit for coming up with that one), and Bride of Franken-Shark!!
I'll be looking forward to hearing about the christening!
