50 years young!!
50 years ago today my girl was born in St. Louis. She's every bit as pretty today as she was then. As a side note, I graduated from high school on this same day 50 years ago. Happy Birthday Pearl

I grew up in Rhode Island and surfed quite a bit at Narragansett Beach. The Beach Boys music was very popular then, for sure. My personal #1 was "Whiter shade of pale" by Procol Harum. "Light my Fire" by The Doors, "For what it's worth" by Buffalo Springfield...ton of great music during the 60's.

Great looking car! Happy Birthday 
I'm in a quandary for my car's 50th birthday. The C-2 Registry says it is this Friday the 17th and the NCRS Birthday book says Monday the 19th. Does that mean I get to celebrate for 2 days?
P.S. I was discharged from the Army on 6-18-67.

Thanks to all for the kind words. These cars tend to take on a life of their own...they almost become family members.
Kevin, if you truly would like to hear the whole story I would be more than happy to share. But, suffice to say, the "Pearl" was meant to be mine from the day she was born.
