    I took the car to a show on Sunday in Media PA. They block off main street for the show and have the cars park down both sides of the street. This was the first time I was ever there in the town. Its a great old town with lots of old restored buildings and tons of eateries. Live band and a very cool DJ. In between songs he played old radio advertisments. One was for the new Falcons! There were 267 cars in the show. I got parked between a corvette and a 57 chevy, oh well! While I was there I snapped a few pics of my car with the new stripes.

    Absolutely gorgeous Maverick Bob!!!

    My favorite is the shot looking at the front passenger side. Very clean and shiny!

    Looks like you had nice weather too.

    It was nice of you to get the Mav out and share the pics with us! :)

    Looks great. That looks like a neat event. Is there a street car or trolley that runs there?

    I take it that the stripes are painted on? I really like the silver back panel and the green pinstripe outline and.......the way you took the hood stripes up to the windshield(y) Cool car!

    Car looks great. It turned out real nice. Normally I wouldnt go for the stance but it does your car justice bigtime. It all fits together really well.

    Those stripes REALLY set off that car. I like it so much better.

    Your car is real similar to a 1972 Grabber I had...complete with vinyl top and everything.
