    The car was registered in the state of Louisiana 12th of june 1978.
    Any earlier date it has been seen would interest me.

    The car was built 23th-26th of september 1966 and despatched 17th of november as personal export delivery for W.G.Dorbins, Boston.

    Many thanks in advance.

    I'am wondering that someone has changed the profile of my car (to new status "nice restauration").
    Indeed, the restoration has been finished some weeks ago, but I wished to change the staus togehter with the uploading of some new pictures.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
