I still have the black plates on my other black 67 at my dad's in Alabama, but still registered in Ca. It hasn't been driven in 6 years now.

My latest 67 when I picked it up, most of the paint is original.

Sarge, you're car is awesome, but I have to say, I've always thought essentially stock looking '67s running 5.5" chromies with nipple hub caps look great!  A simple, clean looking car, stock suspension, stock to mild engine, riding on wider rims/tires.  Cool! Cool

John, you're car looks better with the chromies. Put them back on.

Sarge, you sure are learning some nice picture taking skills. Car looks great. Do your neighbors give you funny looks for setting a ladder up in a driveway next to your car. Grin

I like the chromies too. I think there is a better pic of his car on the centerlines on the samba though.
