Were you kissed by a princess and turned into a prince?
?

Answer: The headlights work now.

I am certainly not the prince the plate refers to...

The car sat for 27 years in a dirty garage... ProTeam picked it up and referred to it as a"pig" in their ad selling it as is as found in 2009 ish. It is far from that now, frame up restored and I figured the 27 year rest was the 'frog' period and now it is the Prince...

Hi DS,
From the single picture it looks like you've been BUSY!!!!
I wouldn't mind seeing more of your work.

I can't take credit, I bought the car restored. Here are a coupe of pics though...

Hi DS,
Well!
It looks very nice in the additional pictures too.
I'd suspect you're enjoying it.
Regards,

I thought the plate refered to a branch of the military. Isn't there a branch where the soldiers are called "frog men"

I did like the québécois reference.

Beautiful car. I thought it meant ex frogman also. It is now definitely a Prince. Good job. It is lucky it found you..

I believe they used to refer to Navy Seals as "frogmen"
Gotta love the 70's green on green! Very nice indeed!

Love the green - what color is the exterior if you don't mind my asking? Just bought a 1969 vert, and its original color was Fathom Green per the trim tag (it's had a re-paint, but not sure how close to original it is).

Thanks!

The car was originally Brands Hatch Green , the previous owner painted it a newer Polo Green. The interior is the original dark green...

That's only a tiny part of a real Quebecois francophone rant! Heck, my Dad could string ten minutes of that along and still have more left! My buddy and shop partner who grew up across the street from me in SoCal, knows the whole thing by heart!


PS: Love the Polo Green and Green interior! That has to be one of the nicest green machines, I've ever seen!
