I find it amazing that a 60 year old car could drive so great!  No problems.  I need to drive it more since it had been too long since the last drive.  Aren't Pagodas amazing cars!

Absolutely!!!  If it's in good working order, find a reason to drive it weekly.

 I agree and say the same thing everytime I get in the car and start her up or just go out to the garage and see it sitting there. It's beauty is timeless.

Yes indee-dee!  Not the fastest SL on the planet, or the most feature laden, but the prettiest to look at and be seen in by far.
