Title: So, two original owners go into a bar......
Post by: 49er on August 15, 2025, 20:39:45
I couldn't come up with a good title so thought this would get some attention. We had a small community car show yesterday and I invited two Pagoda Forum members, Jim and Kathy who have recently moved from Southern CA to a neighborhood a few miles from us. As Kathy is an original owner as well (since may '71) we had an immediate connection and both agreed how smart we were in our choice of automobiles back then and how lucky each of our spouses are:-). There are a few things Jim needs sort out with Kathy's Pagoda to get it adjusted to the slightly "warmer" climate here so their car stayed home on this trip but we will get together again soon for some side by side photos. In the mean time, attached are a couple of photos of our car from yesterday. It always loves having it 's picture taken.

PS We didn't go into a bar,  just our community club house for coffee and donuts.

Still looking great, John!

Is that a “For Sale” sign on the windshield?  ;)

Very funny Ralph.   ;D
Hey any of you, John, Bonnyboy, and/or Ralph, making it to the Pagodafest in Tenn in September?
It will be great seeing you guys if you are joining in on the fun.
Take care,
Mark

Hi Ralph, Not for sale just a brief little Fact sheet about the car. I have a copy of the original Bill of Sale and the window sticker on the car too and that always seems to get the most reaction from people, Especially those driving late model Mercedes. "You only paid that?????"  And sorry Mark, much as I would love to attend I won't be there.  I still regret not making it to the Pagoda Fest 2019 that was down in So Cal.
