Hi all - I inherited my dad’s convertible 68. I’m looking forward to thinking of him every time I take it out for a drive.

Welcome to the Forum!
Condolences on the passing of your father but how neat he left his sharp '68 to you. I imagine he had the same thoughts - that you would be thinking of him every time you take a ride.

Thank you everyone for the kind words!! Poor girl (haven't named her yet) probably doesn't know what to make of everything since she moved from the sunny Florida weather to this stuff we have in Michigan.
