Great upgrades! I enjoy seeing improvements that stay with the original theme.

Perry sold the Lincoln to a couple in Wyoming. Again, it was trailered to a new home. Feel like I'm watching my daughter making her way in a new life. See Perry's note below. Walt would be pleased too.

Hello Jim - I sure hope you and yours are well there.
Wanted to let you know that I made the very tough decision to sell Belle. She just left a couple days ago with her new owner to Wyoming. I've sold a couple other cars recently as well, and continuing to downsize further. It's past time for me to reprioritize my time and resources, and I think will end up with two cars, maybe one.
Anyway, I spent a fair amount of time talking with the new owner and he drove 1000+ miles to pick her up in a nice enclosed trailer. Shortly before, I gave her a good thorough detailing and polish. Check it out here:

I'm sure glad that our paths crossed, and I wish you well!

Re: 1978 Lincoln Continental Coupe
Thats cool to hear about it still and that new owners drove 1000+ miles to trailer it home.
My old S10 Blazer came up for sale a couple months ago from the guy that bought it from me. It was like seeing an old friend.

That was such a big car! If the new owner drove that far for it, I'm sure they're going to be crazy about it too.

Thanks for the update! Have you heard from owners of any of your former cars?

The Texas (?) buyer of the Maverick told me he sold it shortly after he bought it to a guy in the Northwest. His wife wouldn't let him keep it.
Other vehicles were not as interesting.
