Gettin' back to your roots....
I have been meaning to post these pictures for
over a month or two now, but never had time. One Saturday the wife and I jumped into the '69 to take a trip back to where it all began. We left the house and cruised to Hermann, MO on our way to Chamois, which is where the '69 was originally sold. I let my wife take control fo the camera and I think she came a with some unique shots. Anyway, enough talking it's time for some pics! After editing this shot, it reminded me of an old GM advertisement with the picture color.

Re: Gettin' back to your roots....
Nice job on the pics. Really like the one that looks like an old ad.

Re: Gettin' back to your roots....
Thanks to Mother Nature this shot was able to happen...  Unfortunately this old gas station was a little cluttered (trailers/cars...) so we couldn't get any better shots at this location. Better luck next time...

Re: Gettin' back to your roots....
Great pic show. What a great fun experience. Your wife has a real artsy flair to her photo abilities. And of course I have to mention. Your truck is SOOO nice. I could just sit and look at your truck all day long. I think I have a few good wallpapers now. Thanks.

Re: Gettin' back to your roots....
Great pix! Great locations! Great truck! Trucks like that are why I have such a bad case of stock-itis, but I'm not looking for a cure!
