forgot these pics were on my cell phone...

When Yvonne was looking for a '03 anniversary vert, this car was at a dealership. I don't know the story behind it, but my cell phone camera doesn't do it justice:

Like has been said, awesome paint work. And I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but that is just a little over the top for a "car" paint job.

Here are a couple of pics I took of it when we cruised together to a car show in southern Illinois back in Sept of 2002. The lady with the trophy is the original owner.

That car belonged to a woman in southern Illinois...down around Harrisburg, I believe. She got it painted shortly after 9/11. I talked to her at Funfest in about 2002, I think. She was a real nice gal, and the paint (while a little busy for me) was superb.
