    I am not far away from this car at all. I have been tempted to take a look at it, but I simply do not have the room to park it, plus my '72 Chevy still needs a lot of work done to it.

    What is odd about this car is he keeps saying the upholstery is good, but it is clearly worn out in the front seat. lol.

    NOW, if this were a Colony Park or Country Squire, I would be down there tomorrow to buy it. :) I just like my wagons to have wood-grain.

    AND, it's not leather:naughty:

    If I am correct your are referring to the old school 70's shoulder seat belts witch hung like that and as age and time happen the elastic cloth strappy/hangy things sag.

    Are there other photos of the seat-belts (not necessarily of this exact same car but the same year and model) online?

    I didn't know about that type of seat-belt before. Thanks.

    (And yeah I laughed upon the orb comment.)

    Tedy, ya wanna talk about orbs, check this out.
    Every Sept 11, (my cousin's a cop in East Brunswick who was over at Ground Zero that whole week after the attack), he and I go to Liberty State Park in Jersey City. New York City, every anniversary, shoots two laser beams into the sky a few blocks from where the original trade towers stood. Every year, I take pictures, and every year there's this huge orb in every single pic. Eerie, to say the least.
    Can you see the big orb in the pic I posted below?

    $2,300? A bit close to Derby territory, I note. But it's not a Clamshell.

    Wasn't this $1800 a few weeks ago?

    Right in my back yard, I would love to have it, but no room for it. Too many projects as it is. If it were a Colony Park, I would make an exception however. :)
