88 -- is that Okoboji....???

I went to the National Impala Convention there this time last summer and it looks similar to what I remember?

Love the '63 Ford -- I have always really liked that body style! And those retractable hard tops always draw lot of attention!

The last "Hemmings's Classic Car" I read did a story about the lead engineer of Ford's retractable hard top project -- he's like 95-years-old now and living in some retirement community down in Arizona. It must have really been something to have worked in the automotive industry during it's heyday back in the '50's when the Big Three absolutely ruled the world!!!!
