    48 years and counting

    Another click of the annual clock. It's now 48 years since I bought my 64 Galaxie. 2016 wasn't a very productive year.

    Mileage, 218,734. That's only a 479 mile increase from last January. At this rate, 220,000 mile benchmark looks like a "definite maybe".

    Bad year for car shows. Heat was terrible. First time I've ever left a show early just because it was too hot. Heat definitely affected the attendee turnout at some shows.

    No trophies. I'm not surprised. A paint job done in 1980 can't last forever. Besides, there's no room in my trophy cabinet. But, she still gets a lot of lookers, and that's what it's all about.

    Anyway, here's to 2017.

    That's strange.

    I'll give it another try.

    Very nice. Obviously you've got 2 sets of hubcaps. What engine are you running?

    Occasional use, mostly sitting in the garage waiting for the period of deep hibernation. 23,000 original miles.
