Busy driving back from Mid America 02Fest yesterday so didn't post, but on 3 May 1969 I took delivery of my Nevada sunroof '69, after waiting over three months for it to arrive due to an East Cost dock strike that held it up in Hamburg.  

 

Still graces my garage and does its duty.   First picture taken outside Bavarian Auto Sales, Woodside NY, 3 May 1969; second picture is at 3 Rivers in Pittsburg, July 2019.

Mike do you go to the Pittsburgh Grand Prix?

I've been in the past, but probably won't make it this year...after Mid America, Vintage and (probably) Deutsche Marque at the Gilmore Museum, my dance card's pretty full 😁.
