Just saw this guy in a local supermarket parking lot. He said he just finished the restoration and also has a black 54! Beautiful 61 but I would have had an armed guard on it!

I think people are a lot more careful these days, back in the seventies, you couldn't park anywhere without getting doors slammed into you, but now-a-days, it seems rare that someone bangs their door into you. Nice car!!!
