Took it to a car show!
As mentioned earlier, today is Father's Day in the U.S. The Potomac Region of the Model "A" Ford Club of America puts on a wonderful judged show that at which one can find almost everything from military vehicles, American iron from almost any decade, and even imports and motorcycles. Mike Egan, Ray Schlicht and I all brought our Pagodas to the show. My wife also brought her MGB-GT that I gave her for her birthday 31 years ago last month. First place in our Import class and Best of Show for the entire show was a lovely bright red Jaguar XK-140 drop-head coupe, My Havana Brown 230SL was second in class and Ray Schlicht's 250SL California Couper (sans hardtop, it was a gloriously fine day) took third. The hit of the show, however was a stunning 1911 Stanley Steamer!
There were two other Pagodas on the field, one silver 280SL 4sp whose lady owner I wasn't able to meet and a red very late 250SL 4sp whose owner I met as he was leaving and to whom I was able to pass on some Pagoda SL Group contact info. I hope he joins, his amost completely original 250SL only has 40-odd K on the clock and looks and sounds great!
